Gabriella was so kind and answered all the questions I had about the neighbourhood and where to access certain resources. Her replies were always quick, and she was very helpful!
Her apartment is super cute, perfect for a travelling pair or single person. My only minor complaint was having to do a little bit of cleaning upon arrival, but there was access to a vacuum and supplies. There are windows throughout the apartment, which allow for a comfortable breeze and evening cool down.
The neighbourhood appeared a little rough at first, however this was my first time to Paris and had nothing to compare it to. We quickly become comfortable wandering around, and LOVED the proximity to parks, restaurants and markets. Canal Saint-Martin is extremely close, and was our favourite place to hang. Two major transit stations are nearby, maybe 5 minutes walking.
Thanks Gabriella for sharing your space with us!
