The flat was as described. The owner sent us instructions that were easy to follow for retrieving the keys, also a easy walk from Gare du Nord. The building was very safe and on a residential street. Easy access to corner cafe, green grocer and 2 train stations. Except for the neighbors door, the apartment was quiet. The kitchen had every thing you needed to cook simple meals with left over spices, oils, teas, coffees and sundries in the pantry.
What this flat lacked, were enough towels (there were 2 small ones) and decent pillows. Also, it would have been nice to have been contacted by the owner within the first 24 hours, to make sure everything was in order.
