What a great apartment, we loved it! Great ambience and full of quirky and interesting features. Laurence was great... very responsive and lot's of great local tips. Local baker on the corner for morning croissants, 5 minutes from the metro (5 minutes from Gard du Nord & 15 minutes to the heart of Paris). There are literally hundreds of bars and restaurants within a 10 minute walk. The area has a really local feel and everyone we came across was very friendly...
