The flat is spacious, bright and ideal for a family. The location is superb, easy to walk to from Gare du Nord, and a great base for exploring Paris. The interior, however, was surprisingly dated (think 1970's), and not really somewhere you would want to cook food. Fortunately, no need for that as so many great places to eat out nearby. There had been some water leak issue from upstairs, so the plaster on one of the walls was a bit bubbly, and there was an ongoing leak of water on the floor from a bathroom sink. Some maintenance required here.
