Great clean and spacious flat, much better value than can be found in other arrondissements of Paris. Also a great and interesting location, with good transport links and an easy journey from gare du nord. Hosts were friendly, polite and helpful and never intrusive. They were kind enough to leave us delicious fromagerie cheese, freshly baked bread, fruit and breakfast items that lasted our whole stay. The short walk to Simone La Cave was worth it for the delicious wine and atmosphere, and a walk to nearby Chinatown will be rewarded with delicious Vietnamese food.
