We spent a lovely 3 nights in Lorraine's apartment. It is in a great location (we walked from Gare du Nord - or Jaures metro is 5 min walk). You have all the amenities including restaurants, shops etc close by, but the actual street is quiet and has a lovely view over the canal on one side and the gardens at the back. Lorraine was great communicating and super helpful. We were met by Rita who was great at showing us how to use everything. Lorraine had left some suggestions of places to eat etc - we checked out the brasserie Jaures which gave us a real Parisian start to the trip. It's not so obvious from the listing but there are two double bedrooms plus one sofa bed in the living room which I slept on and was comfortable. The shutters and windows kept out all the noise and light so we had peaceful nights sleep. We loved the decor and all the books - it had a really homely arty feel and very comfortable. Can't recommend it enough!
