Charlie is a great host! He met me at the apartment and showed me around the studio. It's a petite studio but has everything you could ever need! Very clean! The post is very accurate. I felt very safe in this neighborhood. I'm a 25 year-old female and felt very safe. It's walking distance to Gare du Nord. I attended a conference at the Bourse (which was walking distance to the flat). Charlie is also very helpful and gave me detailed instructions on how to get to the airport (Orly Sud). There is a shower in the studio but the toilet is in the hallway. This wasn't an issue at all. This is a perfect little studio that I would highly recommend and would love to return to! This is perfect for anyone traveling solo (with a backpack) or a couple-- don't bring a suitcase as there are a lot of stairs (also not an issue).
