We had always wanted to investigate behind one of the big wooden doors of these fabulous Parisian buildings, and now we have! Such a lot of history, and a lot of stairs, although we didn't find it a problem and Elle is very happy to help with luggage if required.
Elle provided plenty of recommendations, we certainly enjoyed our meal at Chez Casimir. The apartment is extremely homely with lots of little touches, and the welcome goodies were much appreciated.
We were travelling by train so the location was so handy for both Paris Nord and Paris Est. Consequently it's a vibrant and lively area and there can be some traffic noise, but that didn't bother us unduly. We would definitely recommend this apartment and Elle and Sebastian deserve their title of Superhosts.
