Authentic Parisian experience, in a non tourist area. Convenient location to Metro and TGV stations, close to shops. Clearly an up and coming area, with an interesting and diverse population. Apartment floors were creaky, but didn't detract from the overall experience. Sofa bed was not quite as comfortable as expected, may have been better for one person only. Thank you Jerome, you were a wonderful host. You made every effort to make our stay a wonderful experience, and we appreciated you going above and beyond our expectations.
