Ashuman’s apartment is in an excellent location - 4 metro stops from Gare du Nord and Notre Dame, and walkable to Notre Dame, Pompidou and Louvre. It is in the red light district but we were there for a Sunday and Monday night and weren’t disturbed by any noise and didn’t feel unsafe. The apartment was small but well kitted out, including with a washing machine and worked for a family of four. Ashuman was very accomodating allowing us to check in early and we were met by his parents who were very welcoming.
