This apartment makes for an amazing stay in Paris. It is even better than it looks in the photos. It is ideally situated, in an area with great local amenities (on which Hélène provides helpful advice) and is well-connected, with direct metro/train from the Gare du Nord and the airports and easy access to everywhere. The building is lovely on the outside as well as the inside, and there is a very easy walk up to the second floor. The kitchen and living room are both pleasant, comfortable spaces for spending down time. And then there are the wonderful balconies. Last but not least, there is Hélène herself, who was considerate and clear in all her work as host.
