great place! just outside gare du nord, and close to lots of restaurants and mini markets. It's easier to get back after a nice walk around the city. And Vincent is a great host, always willing to help and checking you're having a nice and a pleasant stay. happy i chose his place to stay in paris. totally recommended! ps: those complaining the bathroom is on the other side, at the end of the aisle... it is not a big deal at all ;)
