The apartment is clean, functionally furnished & decorated (kitchen-dining = small but well-equipped and basic cooking staples and utensils provided: much appreciated!!!). Brilliantly situated in a great area of Paris - 5 minutes from Gare de Lyon makes travel super easy, spoiled for choice with great restaurants and cafés, a cinema at the end of the street, 5 min to the coulée verte overhead walkway, 10 min to big fresh food market - and loads more. The rue Crémieux was very busy with tourists during my stay - this is the only down-side. It's still a good place to stay and Benjamin is a great host - friendly, caring, professional - warmly recommend.
