Hilal and Malika were incredibly warm and welcoming. The flat was just as it appears — it's small, but it has everything one could possibly need. Hilal gave my friend and I personal directions to the métro station, and then came to get us at 8am when we arrived. They even let us stay past the check-out time because our buses didn't leave until late. The wifi didn't work, but any time we needed it, Hilal and Malika would have us up to their flat and let us stay to use their wifi for as long as we needed, and we were always offered food, beverage and anything we could ask for. Their English is very good, and they will recommend local places that they frequent. They even encouraged me to use my rudimentary French skills! I highly recommend this flat — it's clean, comfortable, and an easy métro ride to anywhere you'd ever want to go in Paris, and it's within short walking distance to anything you'd need like a grocery store or bakery. There's a wonderful bakery nearby that my friend and I visited twice each day... they don't speak English, but they have amazing pastries!
