We had a very nice stay at Julies apartment. Everything was according to what was discussed before our arrival. Julies friend Abdellah welcomed us and showed us around the apartment, he was also there when we checked out. Abdellah was very welcoming and above all flexible and punctual. The place was homely and comfortable (excellent shower!) with everything you need. The size of the place was just perfect for a family of four (2 adults, one 10 year old and an infant). The bed in the bedroom was comfortable with a firm mattress. Not sure how the sofa bed is since our 10 year old preferred to sleep on it as a sofa (without pulling it out).
The apartment is ideally situated, both in terms of using the metro and walking. The neighborhood is lively and nice, with the Canal St. Martin very close. There are excellent bakeries close by as well as some large supermakets. Just a few yards down the street there are a couple of nice restaurants, a pizzeria and great Cambodian place where we ate once and took take away once (highly recommended). We did not have the chance to eat at the pizzeria but it looked like a great place. Across the street there was also a Vietnamese restaurant that I'm pretty sure is good (there was a line in front of it every night) but we did not have a chance to try out.
We can most certainly recommend Julies apartment and would very much like to stay there again.
