Hélène was a great host, always available and very helpful. She came by to help when we noticed a problem with the TV which turned out to be our mistake (the TV was fine) and fixed it in no time. We arrived quite late but she was there to greet us and show us the place. The apartment is very well located near Canal St. Martin, walking distance to several subway stations, to Republique. The area is lively and friendly. The apartment was very nice, spacious, well equiped. We had a great time and will for sure come back again!
