Great location but worn down!
We stayed at Alex’s for two nights, two adults and one child. The apartment is located perfectly just next to Gare Du Nord and Alex was very communicative.
The place is old and not looking well-taken care off. Electrical sockets were either exposed or covered by gaffa tape and the heater in the living room was coming off the wall.
It was obviously that the rooms are usually rented out on individual basis rather than as a whole apartment. Each room is well-equipped with tv, en-suite, heating and a desk.
The common area however was lacking as use for a whole group/family. Necessary equipment (apart from a kettle) are provided but there is no heating/air con in the living room. The dining room table is pushed up against the wall providing only three seat rather than the otherwise available 6.
I wouldn’t stay as a family again.
