Lovely, cosy apartment well situated for trains from Gare du Nord. Fannie was a good host, very communicative and helpfully arranged a late check out for us. The apartment itself is small but has everything you need so no issues in this regard.
The area however leaves a lot to be desired. It is not a pleasant area to be in after dark (or during daylight sometime) - We were catcalled and harassed every evening. On the final night things escalated and two men followed us and tried to barge into the apartment building behind us. We had to physically force them out and they were very aggressive. We got the police involved. We do not recommend this apartment to women alone or in pairs (although we appreciate what happened to us is - hopefully!! - an isolated and very rare unfortunate occurrence). At the very least be very vigilant, have keys ready, speak French and dress inconspicuously.
For couples or groups of men this apartment will make a perfectly pleasant place to stay.
