Nathalie and Hadjila were great hosts. Communication was terrific and Hadjila met us after we got into the apartment, and came over very early the day we left to make sure the taxi arrived on time. The apartment was very quiet and easy to access. We felt very secure as well, with coded entry to a courtyard and into the stairway to the 1st floor apartment. The apartment was efficiently arranged and organized. Everything we need for the kitchen was there. TV worked just fine and the wifi was good. The apartment was cozy and was a nice retreat after a full day exploring Paris. The immediate neighborhood is loaded with food markets, and restaurants of all types. The Gare du Nord station is an easy 10-15 minute walk away and other metro stops are located nearby. We enjoyed our stay and recommend the apartment for a stay in this particular area of Paris.
