Charlotte communicated quickly and efficiently so no time was lost. Her housekeeper let us into the apartment. The apartment was easy to use, comfortable, charming. The central location is unbeatable. The rue is vibrant, full of restaurants, and very convenient - easy to reach from Gare du Nord and Gare d'est, and a nice 15 minute walk into some other key spots in the city. There is some noise from the street below, but it drops off around midnight or so, and is coped with by being on the 5th floor. My 9 year old and teenager felt safe in the area and we had a great time here. I would stay again. A wonderful Paris apartment.
