JPs apartment was just wonderful and exactly as described! We had two families, total four adults and four kids, and the layout was perfect. The location was ideal, close to Gare du nord, with lots of local restaurants, a fabulous pizza place named Giovanni’s right down the street, and right across from a grocery store that has anything you may need. The apartment is on busy street but is set back into a courtyard that was very quiet. There is no central air conditioning, as us Texas are accustomed but very common for Paris. There are fans in each room and the living room, and with the windows open, it was very comfortable. The washer / dryer combo was ideal but took a little bit to figure out but we looked up the instructions online that explained the settings.
The kids really enjoyed the apartment, as did the adults having the extra space and a place to cook meals.
I would absolutely recommend this place and I would definitely stay here again!
