The flat is located in the 18ème arrondissement. The neighbourhood is very vivid and the connection to public transport is very good. There are several metro stations around and also two of the large SNCF stations "gare du Nord" and "gare de l'Est". In the afternoon and in the evening there are mostly men on the street and sometimes you get some annoying comments but altogether we felt pretty safe because we never spent time around the flat alone. The room is functionally furnished, sometimes it's a bit noisy from the streets. Also it's a bit smelly in the whole flat. Nevertheless Cindy, Karimas flatmate welcomed us pretty warm and she answered all of our questions. Thanks!
