This apartment in a multi-ethnic neighborhood is very small but very convenient to the gares du Nord and de l'Est. If you're staying in Paris a short time or passing through either of these train stations, this is a good choice. It's less than a block to the Metro lines 4 and 12, and there are 2 markets around the corner. It's basically an 8x12' room with a separate bath. It's very clean, intelligently furnished, and Gisele and her friends will go out of their way to help you. Great TV. Comfortable sofa-bed. Nice linens and dishes. You cannot be claustrophobic. If you're going to CDG, you can be there in minutes via RER B.
