The studio was very clean, cosy, big enough for 2 people. We had everything we needed, and I was really impressed by the attention to details- for example the hosts provided us with a hair straightner, which shows how much tought they put into everything! The proximity to the metro stations was very good, there is La Chapelle station at about 500 meters, and Marx Dormoy at about 350 meters. Therefore, getting anywhere was very easy during our stay. The boulevard cand get a little noisy at night, but we didn’t mind at all, as we live in a crowded city as well. So, there is a big chance you won’t even notice it, however, we were provided with earplugs which is a big help for light sleepers. There are a lot of nice restaurants in the area and also some great bakeries. There are 3 or 4 supermarkets very close by. Don’t forget to check out La Chapelle Market to buy local products! Regarding our hosts, I want to say they were more than helpful: always responding to our questions, offering suggestions and great advice that really helped us make our experience better. Our over-all experience was great and I highly recommend choosing Julien and Karima’s place for your trip to Paris!
