We had a lovely stay, the apartment is compact but modern and has everything you need. It is close to public transport and has good access to many attractions. I've stayed in Paris about ten times and while this is not my favourite area, it is very well situated in terms of proximity to the main train station gare du Nord, and easy access to many of my favourite areas. it was also very good value at this price point. the staff were exceptional at check-in and check out, they held luggage both before and after our stay and were very kind with excellent English which is a bonus.
