If you want a true Parisian experience this is the apartment you need to rent! Edward's place is fantastic: the decor is wonderful, the apartment is calm and cool even in the summer. The apartment is located conveniently near Gare du Nord which is perfect when flying from Charles de Gaulle. The neighborhood is vibrant and cosmopolitan; I loved it. It's really close to the canal area: perfect for shopping, nightlife and if you like running there's nothing like jogging in the morning along the canal up to Parc de la Villette! Edward has a great little guestbook with local tips. He is the perfect host: friendly, discrete was perfect in communication. If I ever had a problem, he'd answer in the minute. He gave me perfect directions and as my departure was on a Saturday, he quickly arranged for me to leave the keys to a neighbor, which was very convenient for me. Thanks for a great stay!
