This is a lovely, tiny apartment with good access to the train stations. The bedroom is a good size and very comfortable. The self check in makes arriving and departing easy and Claire was accomodating of our arrival and check out times. Claire thoughtfully provides tea, coffee and some bread for breakfast. The area is quiet and going towards Canal St Martin is good but going to and from Gare du Nord could be intimidating if you are on your own - lots of groups of men selling cigarettes, homeless people and smells strongly of urine! Not the chicest area but the flat is nice.
