We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Djamel's place. The location is perfect: pleasant neighborhood with restaurants and groceries close by. We definitely recommend the boulangerie across the street (note that it's closed on Monday). Also, the Boullion restaurant a few blocks away is inexpensive, but with great food. The metro stop is just a block or two away, so it's easy to get anywhere you want to go. The apartment was clean with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the shower hot. He even had a portable air conditioner to pump the hot air out when we returned home in the evening. We would definitely consider staying there again on our next visit to Paris.
