This was my second visit to the Abbesses apartment. My son and I stayed at the apartment in November 2017 and again in November 2018. This is a perfect apartment for a Paris vacation. It is in a fabulous location, very close to the 12 (green) metro line just a little further to the 2 (dark blue) metro line. From those two you can be anywhere in Paris very quickly. Coming from CDG by RER, getting to the apartment is so easy, go to Gare du Nord and from there get on the 2 metro line and you are at the apartment right away. The neighborhood is very charming. There is an excellent patisserie, Gilles Marchal, literally right across the street. Monoprix is nearby. There are a number of restaurants in the area but i think the most notable is Coq Rico, run by a guy who used to have 3 michelin stars at a restaurant in Strausbourg. I look forward to another visit! You will find communication to be very easy and responsive with Flo & Jm.
