This is a very comfortable apartment, in a residential neighbourhood around 20 minutes walk from Gare du Nord. The place is exactly as shown in the photographs and has Parisian style. The books and items that decorate the rooms suggest this is lived in by the owner when not rented, and reflect his interests and tastes. The area seems very safe, with an excellent selection of supermarkets and cafes. You are also very close to a good metro station. There is some traffic noise, which is to be expected in a 24-hour city. The apartment is on the top floor, although as the small lift works well this should not be a problem for anyone who doesn't like stairs. The apartment has a machinator toilet, which we found can block if you flushed anything other than small amounts of toilet tissue. For it's comfort, location and value, we have no hesitation in recommending this property and found Thomas very easy to communicate with.
