Fantastic location, close to Gare du Nord for all transportation (100 metres), but very quiet. Kitchen was functional, but for a large group like ours, 10 in total, eating in posed some challenges. If you are in Paris and enjoy eating out and only want kitchen basics Alex’s place is perfect. He is a very ameniable host and very easy to deal with. His restaurant is also very good and he offers his Airbnb guests a discount. Would recommend to others.
