The apartment is just as it was advertized. And it is very CLEAN. I loved how attentive our host, Flora was to us personally before and during our stay. Flora is a very pleasant person to work with, which made our stay in Paris even more memorable. The apartment is very convenient to the metro stations and there are lots of neighborhood shops and restaurants to choose from to make your stay comfortable. We found the bed comfortable. It is a reasonable distance from Gare du Nord if you are arriving by train. I would definitely recommend this as a nice alternative to a hotel stay.
