I stayed for a month working from Marine's apartment in the Goutte d'Or neighbor of Paris, where, as a New Yorker familiar with similar neighborhoods in Queens and Brooklyn, I felt very comfortable due to its multicultural nature.
The apartment faces north and has great light all day, especially when the sun reflects from the building across the street. The apartment faces a small side street which is quiet at night. The apartment had everything I needed during my stay and the layout is very well organized. I appreciated having a separate bedroom with an amazing open closet which I wish I had at home!
The kitchen is small but it is equipped with the essentials. There was a rice cooker which I appreciated very much as it was a great tool to make healthy meals.
The WiFi worked perfectly during my stay and I enjoyed having a large TV with many channels and viewing options.
The neighbors were nice, polite and quiet, you can tell that they take pride in their building - it was nice to walk through the flowery courtyard which is lovingly maintained. There is a good bakery on the corner where I had one of the butteriest croissants I have ever eaten. To the west, Montmartre is a 10-minute walk away and the area is well served by the metro. To the east you can explore the Max Dormoy area which has a great public market as well as artisanal bakeries and even a local cheesemaker.
