I felt welcome from the moment I arrived. Hilal gave me a tour of the area as well as some treats from the local patisserie. They were readily available since they live directly above the rental. Hilal and Malika were both responsive to the questions that I had. The rental is extremely quiet, almost too quiet if possible - being on a side street and removed from all the activity in the area. But, quiet was what I was looking for. The area was energetic with local activity but not at all touristy. I liked feeling part of this arrondisement. The apt. had a dedicated WiFi that was fast and never failed. This was a main selling point in choosing a rental. Metro access was very close.
