Really enjoyed staying at Simon's place! The place is exactly as the pictures show, very clean, and quite spacious. Simon was pleasant and extremely accommodating; we found him waiting outside the apartment when we arrived, despite the fact we were almost 20 minutes late!

The location was a bit farther from the main Paris sights, but the apartment is walking distance to 3 different metro stops (La Chapelle, Marx Dormoy, Louis Blanc) which gives you access to multiple metro lines. If you don't mind metro, you have an easy way to get all over Paris. We enjoyed the neighborhood (there is a farmer's market up near Marx Dormoy and highly recommend En Vrac in that area, as well). We only wish we had longer to stay in Paris!
