The appartment was ideally located close to Marché St Quentin and the Gare du Nord subway station. It was pretty clean upon arrival, and well furnished with kitchen tools, towels, etc. I didn't have a chance to meet the owner until I left, which at times made understanding how TV and other stuff work a bit uneasy. The appartment is vast and the dining room most enjoyable, yet it is quite noisy since it is located right on one of Paris main boulevards, and close to a big hospital. Nevertheless a very good choice for a short term family stay.
