The apartment is clean and comfortable, with a spacious living area. The shower is great, and there was a hairdryer, iron and coffee machine. The apartment is in walking distance of some great bars and restaurants, and is also right beside the metro (especially handy if arriving through Gare du Nord). You're just off a main street so the area always felt busy, and there was some heavy duty locks on the doors. We didn't spend a lot of time in the apartment, but it was a great base for exploring and very comfortable for three adults to share.
