Lovely apt on 5th floor (Note -no elevator), well furnished and equipped. Very comfortable with a home-like feel. Clearly renovated recently. Proximate to Gare du Nord (and G. l'Est) means easy connection to CDG via RER B. Closest Metro other than at one of the Gares is about a 5-7 min walk. Bus line down to Gare de Lyon. Neighborhood is funky (but not dangerous) with large immigrant population but gentrification process has already begun; real estate prices here have already begun to climb.
There are good restaurants nearby; also two small grocery stores.
