Beat the taxi queues at Gare de Nord, perfect location for a late arrival on Eurostar, just a five minute walk from the terminal.

Franck and Patrick whose communication had been prompt, friendly and welcoming were away travelling so had arranged a friend to very professionally, greet and meet us at the station.

The apartment is a delightful mix of classical and modern; high ornate plaster ceilings, herringbone woodblock floor, grand cupboard and tall windows that flood the French grey room with light (fitted with quality thermal blackout curtains - so rest is assured). Bathroom, kitchen and furniture by contrast are contemporary bringing style, neat functionality and excellent facilities. Comfortable bed, great shower and beautifully smelling soft white towels.

The architecture proportions of the Haussman’s entrance, and sweeping staircase are impressive. The deco although a little tired, salutes a bygone era, which added a certain charm and romance to our stay.

The immediate area we likened to London’s Kings Cross, a busy 24/7 central commuter hub, so you will see signs of on street drinking; but like Kings Cross it’s an up and coming neighbourhood; a great location for rail and Metro links; together with easy walking to Montmartre and Canal St Martin, where we had a refreshing 5k morning jog long the bank.

We very much enjoyed our stay and will be recommending the apartment to friends.

Thankyou
