We had a wonderful time in Viviana's quirky flat, located only a short walk from Gare du Nord, which we found welcoming and well equipped. Although Viviana was abroad when we arrived, she communicated clear instructions to get into the apartment and was accessible for any questions. We only met our host for a couple of minutes at the end, but we felt like we had experienced a bit of their world. We highly recommend this flat for anyone who likes to live like a local in a fun neighborhood by the Canal St.Martin.
