We were contacted by our host a week before our arrival date with clear instructions & a helpful map & were met at the apartment by the hosts representative who was on time. The apartment was well suited to our needs (we are a family with 2 couples) and had 2 large bedrooms at opposite ends and a lovely big bathroom with a great shower over the bath. We particularly liked the continuous & instant hot water for the shower which never ran out. There is a small but well equiped kitchen and a lovely living room with large windows and beautiful platerwork to the ceiling. The furnishings are very tasteful. The apartment is brilliantly situated literally 2 minutes walk from the Gare du Nord. Our host provided us with a bottle of champagne and chocolates which was a lovely welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly reccommend this apartment. A sincere thank you to a wonderful host- we hope we may be able to visit again at sometime in the future.
