Ganesha’s apartment near Gare du Nord was the perfect landing pad for my trip to Paris in early September. Thoughtful touches such as flowers and chocolates when we arrived, an abundance of towels and fresh linens, laundry soap for the washing machine, even bubbles to blow out of the courtyard window made my trip much more comfortable and memorable than I was expecting.
The space itself is beautiful, truly a classic Parisian experience, from the cute courtyard views, tall windows with lots of sunlight, wide chevron wood plank floors, and vintage spiral staircase in the hallway. In addition to a classic, vintage feel, the apartment is thoughtfully kitted out with modern amenities: washer/dryer, renovated kitchen with dishes and flatware, a very cool gold glitter toilet, and waterfall shower head that feels super luxurious despite the small space of the bathroom.
Surrounding the apartment are bakeries where we ordered fresh bread every morning, grocery stores, and many Indian/West Asian boutiques and delicious restaurants. My group and I felt very safe and comfortable in the area.
It’s so easy to travel around Paris from this apartment too: less than 5 mins walk to several Metro stations, and many buses and RER is accessible from Gare du Nord (8 mins walk).
I wholeheartedly recommend Ganesha’s apartment to any visitor to Paris!
