the pictures don't do this place justice. it is an amazing apartment. we stayed for 5 nights with our two children and it felt like home within the first 24hours. beautiful mood lighting, fully fitted out with everything we needed. kids enjoyed the board games and I wished I could read french because there was also an amazing library of books that I would have loved to read! we even decided to spend a whole Sunday as a rest day and only went out for lunch! (Chartier Boullion - walking distance - famous!!).
Neighborhood is a bit grungy, but it's so close (brief walk) to gare de nord and gare l'Est that you could be anywhere very quickly. supermarket and boulangerie across the road. we went to Disneyland and the tour bus left one block away. would highly recommend.
