Antoine and Flora were not around to welcome us to their flat as they were away at a friend's wedding but their friend Danielle met us outside the building to give us the entry code and keys for the apartment - this had all been arranged by text a couple of days before we arrived. The flat was just as described and as previous reviews had said was spotlessly clean and beautifully bright, neat and tidy. The flat is a short walk from the Gare du Nord and is in a nice neighbourhood. The apartment block is set off the street in a private courtyard with a concierge so it felt nice and secure for my 15 year old daughter and I. Rue d'Hautville is a busy little street but the apartment was really peaceful and a lovely place to relax after an exhausting day taking in all the sights and sounds of the city! The nearest Metro is Bonne Nouvelle just at the end of the street so really the location and the apartment itself couldn't have been better!
