It's a nice residential area that has lots of eateries and shops. It's well -served by the metro and buses especially 69 which goes all the way to Eiffel Tower passing the Louvre. It's an area north of Paris gradually becoming upmarket, largely populated by ethnic groups.
The flat is on the 3rd floor with 54 steps to climb. It has 2 layers of security doors which was good. The furnishings in the flat are old and shabby. I tried to take out a hanger and the wardrobe door fell on me. I moved the armchair and the handle came off. The bookshelf above the bed looked shaky so I took the pile of books down. There were no curtains for all the windows in the rooms including the shower, but there are shower doors. The best item in the flat is the bed which was most comfortable.
Maria was not available so her nephew, David met us and was our liaison. David was an excellent communicator and tried his best to give us tips and advice. Through my messaging with Maria, she too came across as a nice person.
Unfortunately, in our 6-week holiday across 4 countries using multiple Airbnbs, this last stop is at the bottom of the quality and comfort list.
