I could not recommend Debora's apartment highly enough! From start to finish, Deborah was really helpful and communicative. She provided lots of information and was always contactable. She greeted us at the apartment and gave us all the information we needed. She also checked in during our stay and was flexible withe regard to check-out times, which was really appreciated.
The apartment is near Barbès – Rochechouart Metro (actually closer to Château Rouge Metro, however this stop was closed for refurbishment at the time). It's the perfect location for anyone arriving into Gare du Nord from Charles de Gaulle Airport or the Eurostar as it's less than a 15 minute walk away. The area is close to Montmartre and Pigalle, so great for touristy stuff but also close to the 10th and 19th for a more authentic glimpse of Paris. There's lots of shops and bars near by (Debora recommended a bar called 'Floors' just up from the apartment with a lovely roof terrace and views of the Sacré-Cœur, which we really enjoyed).
The apartment was stunning and beautifully maintained. There was a bedroom with a comfy double and a super cosy airbed for the lounge, so easily housed/slept the three of us. The lounge/ kitchen area was bright and well equipped. Our favourite part was the balcony that ran the length of the apartment with room to sit on. The bathroom was more than adequate (actually quite large by Parisian standards!) with a shower over a small yet deep bath. It was beautifully decorated and a pleasure to stay in.
The apartment block felt very safe and was well looked after. The apartment is on the fifth floor and there isn't a lift/ elevator, however this is quite standard for Paris and the apartment was certainly worth the climb!
We LOVED our time in Debora's beautiful apartment and found Deborah to be extremely kind and helpful - merci beaucoup!
