My daughter (13 years) and I stayed in the appartment for 5 days and it was really wonderful. Why?
First regarding the neighborhood;
- the apartment is only 20 minutes away from Gar du Nord, as we came by train, so we could easily walk to the appartment.
- Nazeem, our local host, was wonderful. He communicated clearly, was friendly and reacted really quickly to our questions. We could even check in early, which was very nice!
- You enter the building with a code and then the appartment with your own key. Having the extra code on the door first, feels really safe.
- Not that you really need it regarding the neighborhood though, because it is a really nice one. A lot of really good restaurants. We can definitely recommend restaurant Edgar, only two minutes walk around the corner and at a wonderful little square, but also the 'fast food' Johana's fish and chips (I know silly when being in Paris, but when you are tired at the end of the day of all the walking, it is also nice to do something quick :) ). The fish is really amazing overthere and great service.
- An amazing boulangerie in the same street where they have such tasty chocolate bread!
- It is only 20 minutes walk to the Louvre or to the Notre Dame, so it is at a really good location.
Regarding the appartment;
- the pictures are very accurate. So the living room/kitchen is a smaller room and the bedroom is really spatious. The bathroom is as small as it is on the pictures as well.
From the bedroom windows, you look at an inner small court and at the other appartments on the other side. As we weren't often in the appartment, it didn't bother us at all.
- When it comes to the bathroom, if you are a big person, (I am quite big myself), the shower is a challenge and won't be very comfortable, keep that in mind. So if you have a very spatious shower at home, this one will be very different. I had already read about it, so I took it into account when booking the appartment. But that is actually the only lesser point of the appartment to be honest.
- The bed was nice and I liked the fact they had put two different kinds of pillows on it, one harder and one softer. The matras was comfortable and the covers as well.
Overall I definitely recommend going there!
