It is a well-equipped apartment in a great neighbourhood - the 9th is my favourite district in Paris, and the apartment is close to nice streets, shops and restaurants. Cécilia is a lovely host, who was very quick to communicate and was very helpful. We were traveling with an 8month old baby, and Cécilia arranged a baby bed for her. Cécilia was flexible with check-in and check-out time, and very promptly answered any questions that arose during our stay. The apartment is at a good distance from Gare du Nord - not too far (we walked with suitcases and the baby stroller), and not too close either (since Gare du Nord is not a great area). Overall - very highly recommended!
