Saúl’s flat is wonderful for several reasons. Here are the most salient ones:
1° The location is unbeatable. Very central, 3 minutes to the nearest metro station Château-Landon on Line 7, 9 minutes on foot to Gare de l’Est and 13 minutes on foot to Gare du Nord.
2° Central yet amazingly quiet. I am very sensitive to noise and usually never sleep without my earplugs but I didn’t need them, neither at night nor during my afternoon nap. The windows face a courtyard.
3° There’s a supermarket a 3-minute walk away, restaurants, a lovely bookshop called Litote (also open on Sundays).
4° The bed was very comfortable.
5° The shower was hot and the water pressure was excellent.
6° There is a washing mascine and a dishwasher, which I didn’t use but which can be very handy.
Everything was smooth as regards checking in and out. Will be very happy to come back! Thanks a million, Saúl!
