The apartment is exactly as described and shown in the pictures. Philippe is a great communicator and met us for check-in to give us keys and tour of the apartment. We loved opening the balcony doors in the evening and letting the sounds of the city envelope the apartment, and also loved how quiet the place is once the doors & windows are closed (very high-quality seals!)
The neighborhood is a wonderful place to stay. Excellent authentic bakeries in every direction swarmed by locals, lively cafes and restaurants, and tons of interesting shops. Short walk to Gare du Nord, 3 metro stops, and the Sacre-Coeur.
As the listing notes, there is no elevator and it’s 5 flights of (gorgeous wood) stairs to the apartment, thus it may not be for everyone, but if you want to enjoy a stay in a true Parisian apartment, this is the place! We hope to come back.
