Stéphane was an absolutely fantastic host. He was not around when we arrived, but arranged for us to collect the keys from his neighbour which was very easy and straightforward. The apartment is very close to the metro, and only about 10 minutes from Gare du Nord, and about a 15 min ride to Gare De Lyon by cab. The apartment is in a beautiful neighbourhood. It's also very spacious, beautifully furnished and very comfortable. All in all it was a fantastic way to stay in Paris and I only wish we could have stayed longer.
