Alain was very easy to communicate with and had arranged for Omar to meet me, he was also very quick to help out with a last minute glitch (my fault). Omar was great and helped carry my luggage up the four flights of stairs. He took time to answer all my questions and show me in detail how everything worked. The studio was exactly as I expected ; small but in a great location. The fridge is tiny so be aware of that if you are staying a while and plan to stock up. The bed with two of us took up most of the room, but for one it was fine ( if you are two then it's best if you know each other really well!); however, at the price, for this area it is great value. The location was fantastic, close to Blanche Metro and numerous bus routes, easy to access from CDG via RER B - Metro La Chapelle to Blanche. Alain had provided some excellent recommendations for cafés/ bars/ restaurants but I'd like to add one more - Seb'on on rue d'Orsel, a 5 minute walk from the flat; small and intimate with delicious food and fabulous service - booking recommended as fills up fast.
