The flat is in a mature block, approx 15 mins by foot from Gare du Nord. The room is comfortable and cosy; while it faces onto the main street, the balcony door is double-glazed. Therefore noise from the bustling street is not a problem. There is an excellent always-on wifi connection. Johan is a knowledgeable, open-minded and polyglot host who can provide recommendations on where to eat etc in the locality. I would stay here again. Recommened.
