Lovely host w friends who help out w check in. We were allowed to check out later which was great. Clean, much like the pictures. There is a small bakery just 3 minutes from the apartment where I went in the morning to get a baguette and croissant that we ate on the balcony! Balcony is small and chairs are pretty worn but having breakfast with that view was incredible and made our trip! Location is great, we walked from Gare du Nord to get there and all around town. Close to Centre Pompidou and shopping in Le Marais. Bear in mind, a lot of stairs!
