The apartment is in a superb location. Very close to Gare du Nord and Gare du L’est where you can find all cross-country trains. The Metro 5 is very close and you can transfer anywhere you need to go. All major landmarks and tourist areas are less than 30min by Metro. This really is a great location. The room is basic but has everything you need & and a nice large typical french window with a balcony that overlooks the street.
