Pascal's place was nice and clean with a really great view. The apartment is more than big enough for two people. The location may not be the most central in Paris, but it's easy to get away and around by the metro from Gare du Nord or La Chapelle. You can also walk to the lovely area Canal St. Martin in 15 minutes. We didn't meet Pascal, but he was very nice and helpful both before and during the trip. We had some great days and have nothing to complain about.
