Beautiful and very clean apartment with a huge eat-in kitchen, perfect for shopping at the Marche Barbes (two blocks away, Weds and Saturdays) and cooking wonderful meals. Also the most convenient apartment I've ever stayed in for getting to and from the airport: six minute walk from the Gare du Nord and with no stairs at all except for in the apartment building itself. The neighborhood is a mix of Indian and north African, very cosmopolitan. It's not the prettiest part of Paris, but definitely safe and convenient. Excellent WiFi in the apartment, which is very important for me. Julien was very helpful and responded immediately to questions like how to get the TV cable box to work. Excellent value for the price. I would stay here again.
