The apartment was in a good location for access to the metro. It had all the facilities we needed for our stay. The parking space available in the underground parking was very useful. The key collection was very nearby and simple, so it was convenient for us. The apartment is the family home of the host, so it is ok if you don’t mind that. If you want completely spotless clean and no personal belongings in the accommodation, you might prefer to stay elsewhere (the apartment was good for us as we travel with our children so are used to lots of toys etc). The area nearby is very multicultural and there are lots of places to eat out. The renovated area of the Bassin de la Villette behind the apartment is popular. There is a Carrefour Marché a few doors away and also a Boulangerie. There seems to be lots of cycle routes passing close by as well. However, if you are not comfortable to stay in an area with the things that you see and smell in many big cities around the world (for example the ‘street life’/beggars/drunks etc) you may prefer to stay in another area. The apartment and area was ok for us for our 3 night stay. Thank you Anne-Marie.
