Lovely location! Nice and quiet at night as it is set back from the street and not surrounded by flats - which ha difficult to find in a central location. Felt safe as well. Was nice having tinted windows and proper curtains as I am quite sensitive to light in the morning. The flat is well equipped and close to bars and shops. It is about a 15 minute walk from gare du nord. For me, the pillows were very flat. The place is very small which is fine if you plan on being out most of the time like we did. If you want a good nights sleep in a central location this is it!
