This apartment is in a poorer neighbourhood in Paris, so if you're not too used to that, use caution. That said, I found it lovely and the people were friendly. Stephane's mum did not speak English but she made me feel welcome. The place is locked up like a fortress with a lock on the room so I felt very safe. It's nice and close to Montmatre which I thought was the most beautiful past of Paris but a bit of a train from the main sites. The place was clean, shower great and bed a little bumpy.
