Although I did not meet Olivier during my stay, he ensured to email clear instructions and made arrangements with one of his friends to welcome us, and she was very nice and helpful as well. The area is very safe, with a few cafes and restaurants within walking distance. If you have heavy luggage, I suggest you take a metro to his apartment.

The apartment is small but my mom and I were amazed at the efficient use of space. It had everything we needed for our stay. There was no place in the closet but we improvised. If I return to Paris, I will definitely looked for the apartment again.
