Laure is a wonderful host, very helpful and friendly. On arrival, a bottle of wine and a bowl of fruit awaited us. The apartment is small but cozy, clean and nicely furnished. Since the bedroom window points towards the courtyard, it is really very quiet during the night. The neighborhood is characterized by many Indian shops and restaurants. You can walk to Gare du Nord, Gare de l'Est, and several metro lines in just a few minutes. The place was just perfect for a long weekend in Paris.
