The apartment is in a great location. Near lots of restaurants, bars and and metro stations. It was a 15 minute metro ride from Gare Du Nord and waking distance from The Louvre, Norte Dame ( although it’s still closed) and the Pompidou Centre. Given the location it can be noisy at night but that’s the price you pay for a central location. There is a bakery next door and a small (quiet) wine bar opposite. There are two fancy restaurants at the end of the road but lots of cheaper places as well.
The apartment had lots of room and was comfortable. It has a large fireplace although we visited in summer so didn’t use it. There is a single bed with the double above it ( like an unconnected bunk bed) in the bedroom had two sofa type beds in the living area. It is very homely and very much a family home which hasn’t been the case in lots of other places we have stayed where the host does not live in the accommodation .
There is a washing machine and dishwasher and an oven and microwave if you want to do some cooking.
The apartment is on the second floor and the stairs are wooden. There is no lift so if you have mobility problems you would have trouble getting up and down.
Christine was very friendly and accommodating and let us stay for extra time after check out as our train wasn’t until the afternoon.
