The flat is 0.6 miles from Gare du Nord so it is very convenient if traveling from the airport by RER train or by any other train. The area is up and coming. The flat is nicely appointed. We had no heat in the main bedroom and it was cold and there are no shutters in the small bedroom so there was no privacy at night. Also, in order to go to the small bedroom you must enter through the bathroom. The host( Linda) who waited for us to show us the flat and give us the key was very welcoming. I think in my next trip I will stay in another area.
