The flat was on the 6th floor or so, so its a few steps to get to but being on the top floor is kinda nice for some reason. The view from the window is reasonable but it is quite built up. Only a short walk from the flat to the metro and from Gare du Nord if you are travelling by Eurostar. From the metro nearby it does seem like it takes about 50 minutes to get to the sights as it were, but that's not too bad and the travelling does feel pretty quick. Overall cute little flat, perfect for 2 maybe 3/4 though that would be quite a tight fit.
