This apartment is amazingly accommodating for a family in Paris, as well as very cute and cozy. We were a couple with three children and 3 adults and slept comfortably. The rooms on the street side have enough insulation on the windows to make it quiet, though it is very loud with the windows open. We were lucky to not have high temperatures. Fans are provided which help with noise and cooling. The kitchen is well stocked, and the bathroom super clean and new. As with most French homes, the toilet is in a separate room and this is right in the central hall but didn’t cause a problem. It is very close to the Gare du Nord which is a plus and minus. If you know how to use the metro, it’s a direct line to CDG airport and downtown spots. The areas around the big stations tend to be a little more unsavory, and the walk down Blvd de Magenta towards the center of Paris is a little sketchy. We got to know the neighborhood and had a good experience here.
