The apartment is conveniently situated near the Gare du Nord and the Gare de l'est, with all the associated bus and metro links so we found it easy to get around once we had worked out the ticketing system. the neighborhood the apartment is in is perhaps not the best, but it is quiet enough considering it's in the city and feels secure.
There is a nice indoor market nearby and the Canal St Martin isn't far away with a host of eating places and shops.
Our check in handover was very brief but we found everything we needed. English visitors please note that there is no tea, coffee or milk which is a common welcome gesture in the UK, but there are convenience stores nearby.
The apartment itself is small but perfectly fine for a couple of people. We did run out of hot water the first morning but were more careful after that!
Thanks for the stay
