Mohamed was a great host, responsive and helpful, and the nice apartment in a great quartier and arrondissement was a bonus. We communicated in English and in French through SMS, emails, and phone -- never an issue. I had a very good Wi-Fi connection in the apartment as well as a lot of channels on the tube. The metro stations Ourcq, Crimee, and Jaures were close and convenient for going anywhere in Paris and the environs. I enjoyed the local supermarkets and the cafes and bistros. Enjoying the sunshine while walking on the edge of the canals was a real thrill. I hope to see next year, maybe for longer! I will rent a boat to cruise the canls for a couple of hours. It was overall a great way to feel like a Parisian again anf to enjoy this great, beautiful city.
