This was a great apartment! I thought it was advertised accurately. It was well furnished with everything you might need. The hosts were very communicative and friendly. They were not joking about the climb, it is hefty but doable! :) Also, for those not familiar with the area, the Canal is great and is about a 10 minute walk, definitely go to that area first to get a feel for the neighborhood and the less touristy restaurants. The area around the Gare du Nord is a little more touristy and chaotic. I really enjoyed my stay here in this neighborhood!
