This place worked perfectly for our stay in Paris. We loved the design and decor which has a classic 19th century Parisian style. The original details are extremely well preserved. Very spacious and comfortable for three and the balcony adds to the experience. Conveniently located with local shopping within a block or two. Great bakery on the corner of the block. Being so close to Gare Du Nord adds to transportation options. Claire is very friendly and super helpful. My favorite meal while in paris was at the restaurant she recommended in the neighborhood, 82 Rue de Maubeuge.
