Thibaut's apartment has a gorgeous view of Paris, which was exactly what I was looking for on our Christmas trip.
On a clear day we could see all the way to Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur. The balcony is also a huge plus when weather is nicer. The metro is a bit far but my husband and I were fine walking, and traffic in this area seems light so a taxi should be easy to take.
After arriving at Gare du Nord, we were able to walk to the apartment in about 20 minutes and were surprised by the beautiful Saint Martin canal. We dropped off our bags in the morning after a red eye flight and continued on to Notre Dame.
The apartment was on the fifth floor with a small elevator. Thibaut told us to feel at home and left fruits, coffee, tea in the kitchen. We were even able to wash our clothing. The shower is tiny but has hot water, the mattress was on the floor but we slept well, WiFi and the smart TV that connected to YouTube from our phones was a plus!
Our first trip to Paris was fantastic and a huge part of that was staying in this lovely apartment!
