The apartment was exactly as described. It was clean and in good condition when I arrived, and Patrick did an excellent job of checking me in and answering any questions I had.

The view was wonderful. It is a bit of a walk to see many sights. The location is convenient for metro and buses, and an easy walk from the Gare du Nord train station. The neighborhood is a little seedy with some sex shops nearby, but it is not a detraction from the charm!
