The apartment is great: really causy, spacious and calm, and definetly has a 'French charm'. Thierry provides quick and clear responces, and a very detailed information. The location is 20 min by foot to historical center of Paris and many major attractions, as well as several min. of walk to several metro stations. My advices are: 1.Get the detailed map of the district in advance if you arrive by public transportation. There are several Rue de Faubourg in the city, keep in mind that this one is in Saint Martin district 2. Better do not use public transportation to get there from the airport not to spoil your first impressions, especially the train to the Gare du Nord (quite unpleasent and poorly orgaised place) , better use Uber to get to the location directly from the airport . 3. Be prepared that there is no elevator in the building - if you have a heavy luggage, probably it can be a problem for you, for us it was ok to burn some calories from all the croissants we've ate ;) 4. Use Rue de Faubourg to get to the metro or the major attractions by foot, some nearest streets may look not so nice and calm, especially late in the evening. 5) Take advantage of being close to the Saint Martin district restaurants. 6) If you need to leave the luggage somewhere, go strait to the Gar de Est, which is less than 10 min by foot, the storage is in the basement (5-10 eur up to 1 day dep.on the size).
