It's a beautiful apartment in a great location. Like, literally a five minute walk from Gare du Nord (North Train Station and entry point for Eurostar from London). It's a beautiful, nineteenth century building with vaulted ceilings and a mix of modern amenities and 19th century accents. It was clean and well appointed, and having a kitchen was a huge boon for vacation travel. We loved staying here.
A few small-ish downsides:
- "Sleeps 6" means two large beds and one pull-out sofa bed. The big beds are delightful, but the sofa bed is cheap and uncomfortable to the point that our ten year old kids rebelled at sleeping on it.
- Unsurprisingly, the photos make the place seem larger than it really is. It's spacious enough, especially for the heart of Paris, but not as huge as they make it look.
- Somebody had a VERY LOUD party from 2AM-5AM on Fri night/Sat morning. This is obviously not in owner's power to control, and I don't know how often it happens, but be warned that it might be a loud district to be in. (This only happened to us one night, thankfully.)
