Fabrice is a very friendly and helpful host. He made us feel like at home. Although the bathroom is in our room and he needs to use it in the morning, he came in quietly and respectfully, and he didn't make too much noise at all. We still slept soundly even when he was having a shower. The room was clean and a good size for two people. The location of this apartment is fantastic and really easy to get to by metro from Gare Du Nord station. The area is also safe and nice to walk around. The walk from here to the river Seine was pleasant and less than half an hour. As breakfast was not included, we found a nice bakery and a grocery shop just 2 minutes away at the big roundabout, around the corner from the apartment. My favour thing in the bakery was the Crème Brulee which was heavenly delicious! Coffee in Paris in general was disappointing. If you can have coffee in the apartment in the morning please do. Unless you don't care about coffee. Blah blah blah...sorry! I would definitely recommend it.
