Issa was a very nice and accommodating host. He met us near the apartment shortly after our train arrived at Gare du Nord (which is about a 5 minute walk away) and provided helpful tips about getting around the neighborhood and provided recommendations about sites to visit.

The apartment is very nice and has been recently renovated. It was a very comfortable stay for me and two of my friends who visited Paris for 3 days. The kitchen and bathroom have everything you need and there are 3 comfortable beds that can accommodate 3+ people. The location is convenient to the train stations and metro, as well as the neighborhoods along Canal St. Martin.

The only drawback is that the apartment is next to the tracks for the commuter trains, so it gets a little loud from the trains in the morning and afternoon rush hour times.

Overall it was a great stay for the price and Issa is a very nice host.
