The location is great. Just across the metro station there is a Carrefour supermarket. Furthermore, for those who are into Chinese food , the restaurants just right in front of the apartment and there is a Chinese supermarket between the metro station and the apartment. In addition, to those who are interested in fruits and vegetables, there many fruit stores on the right of the apartment.... less than a block away... Finally, to my Muslim friends, there are many Turkish Halal food restaurants near metro station Strasbourg - Saint - Denis..great foods such as lamb chops and bbq chicken. Although, It is on the fifth floor (so please pack light), the neighbours are very friendly and helpful with good food tips. There is also a laundry machine in the apartment, if you would do your laundry at night...the clothes will be dry in the morning. Furthermore, the apartment is very near to metro station which makes travelling to the places of interest very convenience. Walking to the Louvre museum is just 20 mins. Finally, the host is super nice and friendly.
