This apartment is advertised as "close to Gare du Nord in Paris". I can confirm that close is in this case REALLY CLOSE. You walk out of the railway station, turn left, cross the street... and that's it! As for the location, I absolutely recommend this apartment to everybody who arrives to Paris by Eurostar or by plane via the Charles de Gaulle airport. The only little minus - it's on the 4th floor, which can be a bit nasty when you're carrying suitcases (no elevator). Well, you can't have everything :-)

Florence is a very kind woman, really trying to make you feel welcome. She helped me out with advice for some good restaurants in the neighborhood and apparently she knew exactly what I was looking for.

The apartment is very nicely arranged, everywhere in the apartment one can see its owner is somebody with an exceptionally good taste.
