I can sum this flat and its owner (Baudouin) in two words: simply amazing. First, the owner. Baudouin was extremely generous and gracious, and a genuine pleasure to meet. He is a real people person, and has a genuine interest in kindness, as well as a caring personality. Baudouin wants to make sure that you are not only extremely happy with the flat, but that you feel comfortable with asking him questions about the area, particulars of interest, etc. He is a great host!! Second, the flat. The flat exceeded our expectations as compared to what was described on the AirBNB site. The pictures do not do this flat justice, as it is outstanding in all regards. The flat’s location next to Gure de Nord was very important for us (as it is only 200 or so meters away, but still in far enough away from the foot traffic that encompasses that area). The flat was extremely comfortable for myself, my wife, and our daughter. The building is very nice, and has a lovely courtyard for relaxing. The stairs proved well for us, and the elevator works for moving heavy luggage. We truly are looking forward to returning to this flat when we return to Paris.
