Vinz was at home in the next door flat when we arrived, and made us feel very welcome. The studio apartment was just as described, well-designed and clean, and easy to reach from Gare du Nord (we walked). A perfect little pied-à -terre for Eurostar travellers! The supply of tea, coffee and cereal was a nice touch, and just round the corner there's a supermarket and gorgeous covered food market (Marché St Martin). The market has excellent fresh food, a few places to eat, and a specialist German grocer. We had dinner at a very good restaurant which was also just round the corner.
