This is a great choice for a solo traveler or a couple traveling on a budget. If you are looking to spend less than $100 on a hotel but need more privacy and space than a hostel, this is an excellent choice. The apartment has all of the living essentials including a kitchen, refrigerator, and laundry machine. The apartment is clean and quiet. If you are traveling on a budget, you would appreciate that the grocery stores are only a 2 minute walk from the apartment. The bus station is at the front of the building. Metro stations are less than 5 minutes away and Gare du Nord is 10 minutes away. Manuel's cousin, Pierre, welcomed me. He is very nice and gave me very good pointers on tourism and transportation in Paris. Manuel is an excellent communicator and always responds within 24 hours. Definitely would stay again!
