The Appartment is very spacious and well appointed. Could do with mirrors over the dressing tables . The entrance and stairway is unappealing not helped by intrusive work being undertaken to the courtyard during our stay . So check that is over before booking .. The hosts who manage many properties were understanding and gave a nominal rebate . The area is eclectic and lively and like many capitals there are pockets of more “salubrious “ activity very nearby in St Denis . I think it is a push to deceive the area as the more upmarket Opera it is far better to describe it as Strasbourg St Denis . Overall a wonderful Appartment.
