The airbnb's location reminded me of downtown LA. It was very busy during the day, and there were always people walking around at night. The location was perfect if you are planning to take the metro everywhere. It was directly across the street from the Barbes Rochechoua station, which took us everywhere. We really felt like we had a true local experience.

Christophe was very accommodating with our late arrival. We arrived close to midnight, and I wasn't able to meet him, but we did meet his friend who showed us the flat. It was very difficult for us to communicate with his friend because she only speaks French, but we were able to manage just fine :). It was very nice of Christophe to provide a baby bed for my friends who brought their baby girl.
