I loved our weeklong stay in Paris, and Anass's home is a big part of that experience. His apartment is such a beautiful and comfortable space—I adored it. I loved how he and Daria have furnished the space. The leather couch is firm and gorgeous, and we spent the nights relaxing on it as we watched Netflix on the projector. (I am so inspired by the projector idea that I am thinking of stealing it for my home!) The bed is excellent, and we slept well on most nights. The kitchen is tiny but it worked for us. Anass generously offered us the use of his kitchen supplies, so it was very helpful. The apartment is within walking distance to a couple of Metro stops, so we could get around the city easily. There are many grocery stores, pharmacies and boulangeries within walking distance, so it's easy to find what you need.
This is a busy, bustling neighborhood. There's a cafe right below the apartment building, and it got a little noisy some nights. Gare du Nord is not far, and trains rumble past the apartment often. This may be a challenge if you are a light sleeper. We had to shut the bedroom windows at night because the sound traveled up and made it hard to fall asleep.
