Baptiste's apartment was a little island of peace and tranquillity in a very lively neighbourhood, and surely unique in Paris. It was comfortable for the three of us; the kitchen and bathroom were both very usable, and the main room was charming and sun-filled.
The Metro is a few minutes away, or you can walk up to Montmartre in 10 minutes for a great view and many nice bars and restaurants. We travelled on Eurostar, and the Gare du Nord was a short walk away.
