The apartment is perfect. Exactly how it looks in the photos. The location is ideal, 10 min walk from Gare du Nord and 5 mins from metro station (Cadet). The apartment had every facility necessary and felt very homely. We are a party of 5, 2 adults and 3 children(13,11&8). The court yard was a perfect addition giving the children somewhere safe to play. I would recommend this apartment for anyone traveling to Paris for business or leisure. Although I didn't meet Alexandra , she was easily contacted through email or text. She kindly allowed us to keep our luggage in the apartment until 6 pm on our last day as our flight had been delayed . This apartment made our family trip to Paris a very enjoyable experience.
