Florence’s place is wonderfully situated right across from Gare du Nord. My colleague and I spent 10 very comfortable nights there, enjoying the ridiculous warmth and convenience of her flat. With high speed internet, comfortable mattresses, lots of lighting choices, well equipped kitchen, it was a perfect choice for a working week in Paris.

The large kitchen /dining space was wonderful for working from, and also where the internet is the strongest. The living room, which doubles as a bedroom, is full of books, charm and lamps for lighting up the space on dark winter days. The bathroom is small, currently with water damaging the facade, but all worked very well.

Four flights up, next door to a sex shop, a little shabby around the edges, and within a relatively unfriendly area of Paris, not every part of the experience here is full of romance and charm, but nonetheless, it is well made up for given the convenience and homeliness of Florence’s place. The location, warmth, good facilities, spaciousness, and comfort are what you choose this place for.

I would definitely consider staying here again!
