My mom, sister, and I stayed at this apartment for a week and had a wonderful time. The neighborhood is funky and lively, and we enjoyed cooking and eating in the area and going more local than we would have in a hotel. The apartment is also just a few minutes walk from two main metro stops taking you anywhere else in the city, and within walking distance to Gare du Nord for trains out of the city as well. The apartment had minimal amenities, which we were able to purchase nearby (dish soap, sponges, hand soap, trash can) but this could be difficult for someone only staying for a night or two. I would highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a comfortable, unique stay in Paris, away from the tourist center.
