Zoubair was a very accommodating host; although he was not able to meet us, he made sure it was possible to pick up the keys easily, and gave very clear instructions on how to find the apartment. The flat is extremely close to the Gare du Nord, which is a major transport hub (Paris metro, Eurostar and French mainline services).
While the area is nice enough, it isn't a traditional Paris district.
The flat itself was immaculate and comfortable, with everything we needed. I would highly recommend!
