Overall we really enjoyed the stay in Mark’s apartment and it is a very good value for your money.
Mark was very responsive and flexible. The kitchen was well equipped and basic cooking and cleaning supplies were available.
As you can see in the pictures the apartment is very bare. You have just the basic needs- beds (futon in bedroom and folding bed in living room),dinner table and 3 chairs. That’s it. No rugs/ shades on windows/nightstand/coffee table/pictures, so it is not very homey, so just know wat to expect.
The transportation is very convenient, there is a bus station under the apartment (65), 5-10 min walk to metro stations number 2/12 and 15 min walk to train to/ from airport(RER B). The apartment is bright and quiet,but the neighborhood is busy and multi- cultural, not the quiet and romantic Parisian street you imagine, and in the early evening hours (6:00-8:00pm) didn’t feel very safe (it was ok in the mornings and later at night), thought we didn’t have any issues.
