This is the most ideal place you could stay in Paris!!! I’ve stayed in 4 other airbnb’s in the city and this was the best. If this place is within your budget, stop looking and just book this place!!
Regarding location— It is a short walk from Gare du Nord, so it’s easy to arrive from the airport and easy to take a train outside of Paris. It is nestled in the perfect spot, walkable to Montmartre, the Nuevelle Athenes area, and the Canal San Martin. Right around the corner is the quaint Avenue Trudaine with weekend pop up markets. Then of course the flat is right near Anvers, Barbes-Rouchechuart, and Poisonniere Metro stations. You have a fantastic cheese shop, bakery, and bistro all right next door. You feel at home, like you could stay forever.. and at the same time you are free to quickly go anywhere because transit is so accessible.
Regarding the space—
A top-floor flat with an elevator is SO ideal!! This is rare!! Windows on both sides of the flat make it romantic and sunny, bright and airy with a nice cross-breeze. (It can get a bit warm in the summer if the wind isn’t blowing, just be aware. If air-conditioning is really important to you, you should get a hotel.) The balconies are so nice to have. I made tea with the provided kettle & tea selection... took it out there with a pan au chocolat and a book and felt like I was in a dream! The space is also impeccably decorated. Sleek but still so warm, homey and inviting... with jewel tones and wood pieces everywhere. It has a really nice convertible layout: the hallway wall divides the space between the bedroom area and living area very nicely, and you have sliding doors to separate the spaces completely if you want.
Regarding amenities— I was so happy to have an iron/board, hair dryer, closet space, bluetooth speaker, and easy-to-use kitchen appliances. There wasn’t one thing missing.
Check-in and check-out were easy, and getting in and out of the apartment building is also very easy.
Highly recommended!!!!
