Apartment is walkable to Gare du Nord station where Eurostar and other metro lines can be found. It is nearer to Montmartre but only 1 station to Chatelet-Les Halles where the main Paris is (Louvre, Champs Élysées, Notre Dame). Many restaurants,cafes and convenience stores nearby. While the building is a little aged, the unit itself is clean & manageably maintained. Can see that the host has tried his best to provide as many amenities as possible. Walls are thin though as we could hear voices of occupants in adjoining unit. But these didn’t bother us. JM Hillary is fast in his replies, and flexible - he allowed us to check in earlier or we would have been stranded with several big luggage and it was raining. Thanks for that, JM Hillary!
