We really enjoyed being in such a bustling part of Paris, very close to Montmarte and the charming restaurants and shops around it, and with very easy access to the Metro (and also Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est). The apartment was stylish and comfortable, and once we were in the building it was as if nothing at all was happening outside, peaceful and safe. Thomas was kind enough to collect our bags as we arrived early on our day of check in, and put them in the apartment when it was ready. It's an apartment great for those who are ready to take Paris by foot and by train- we did and we loved staying in this space!
