Amazing apartment, very quiet!(as on 5th floor) very bright - lots of sun shining in the afternoon in the sitting room, dining room and the bedrooms, there are windows in every single room - lovely old French wooden floors with some rugs (very homely) centrally located (15 minutes walk from Gare du Nord), 10 minutes walk from Sacré Coeur - the street the apartment is located in has so many great shops, delicatessen, boulangerie, some have amazing quality bread and pastries. Gift shops, shoe shops, clothes, items for the home. Plenty to see in Paris but strongly you recommend exploring the area. My friend who stayed with me used the 2nd double bedroom, loved the fact we each had our own space, we could use the kitchen without the other person knowing hence making it really extra quiet - 2 couples could easily enjoy this very spacious flat.. as each have their privacy. Elisabeth was a great host, although could not meet us, we were provided with all the instructions we needed and was easily contactable for any queries. I strongly recommend but l personally cant wait to come back.
