We had a great stay in Paris, together with our twin boys aged 9. The apartment on Rue Saint Denis is very easy to reach, particularly from Gare du Nord (4 stops on metro line 4). The check-in is very easy (no waiting around for the host to arrive). The apt itself is super clean, exactly as on the photo's. Good beds, good linen and towels, well-equipped kitchen with quality appliances, crockery, pans and (wine) glasses (even for serious foodies who want to do the odd cook-in while in Paris). Very quick wifi. Good shower. Within 4 minutes' walk from the food shops on Rue des Petits Garreaux and the lovely bakery on Rue de Nil (Boulangerie Terroir D'Avenir, highly recommended for award-winning organic croissants and bread). Walking distance to Les Halles, Centre Pompidou and even the Marais. We stayed in Feb, a lovely quiet time of the year. The street outside was very quiet at night, and we slept very well. Check-out also very easy, also to leave and collect luggage. We had minimal (but very pleasant) contact with Joe - but we were grateful that he was home (next door) to solve a connectivity problem with the dvd player one evening. Highly recommended for a few days in Paris.
