Absolutely great apartment! My aim was to show Paris to my kids the way i remember and love it, since the times 15 years ago when I studied here - and this apartment was best choice for that aim. Real Paris view from the balcony, absolutely amazing inside - small detail, decoration, the apartment has it own mood and spirit. I didn't want the same arnbnd or hotel atmosphere - when the apartments are all the same and you cant really say if it is Paris, London or NY. Here we were absolutely sure in which city we are. Pauline is great host - very reaponsive and caring. Practically speaking - everything what is essential is there - for cooking, bathing, sleeping. All the essentials are in place. Internet is very good. We didn't mind to climb stairs - as the stairs were beautiful and a bit of sports is always good 😜. Highly recommended for people who want Paris atmosphere. The only thing you need to know is that you have to really, really watch your belongings - the place is near by the Gare du Nord - so your chances to be robbed are very high - unfortunately we have got in trouble - so, lessons learned, backpacks have to be in front of you, not on back, and you better hold it! Guys here are highly professional - my vallet was stolen from inside pocket inside the bag.
