Really great base for walking to Gare du Nord everyday (18mins). So close to 2nd, 1st, 10th and 3rd arrondissement. No need for us to use metro at all. Great restaurants on Fauberg-st Denis which was quite an urban/gritty cool area with lots of life and bustle but felt safe. Pictures are true to life as the apartment was lovely, clean, well appointed, great showers, comfy beds and although close to a busy area was nice and quiet at night and on a nice quiet street . Would defo stay here again!
