We had a great stay in Benoit's apartment and were very thankful he was able to accommodate our late check in.
The apartment is stylishly furnished and comfortable however we did find the location was not quite what we had imagined. The street is dirty and the smell from the butchers underneath the apartment is quite overpowering.
Luckily we were a group of 5 as had I only been with one other friend I think we would have been quite uncomfortable and possibly scared to return to the apartment at night.
Culturally diverse is an Understatement. I love multicultural living as I love living in London but this had a 3rd world feeling to it which was a real culture shock and not what I imagined for a girls weekend away in Paris!
However I must say again Benoit was great and the apartment very comfortable. Overall we had a fabulous weekend. But I would not return to this area next time I visit Paris.
