Ana makes you feel home immediately. She welcomed us very warmly and was very helpful with any questions we had. The apartment was very cute with nice interior design and well equipped. The bathroom is a small highlight - even though the sink drips and needs to be fixed. The location of the apartment is perfect and well connected with public transport, few steps away from gare del est and few minutes from gare du nord. The area as such is very pleasant. As the apartment is small and the only door inside is the bathroom door, for the rest there is little privacy, which for us was not a problem as we were 3 good friends. All in all very good choice for Paris.
