Tao's open, clean and homely apartment was perfect for our stay - kitchen with lots of cooking utilities, comfy bed, open living room with guitar and piano. (Also a fantastic selection of books). His very friendly neighbour let us in, even though our train was delayed and we were rather late. Apartment's on the 6th floor, so beautiful views although tricky for toddlers and older visitors perhaps. Lots of shops nearby and an easy walk to Gare du Nord or 2 other metro stations (so easy access to pretty much all of Paris). Would definitely stay here again!
