The apartment is a good size, very comfortable to live in. The bed and sofa bed are both comfortable and easy to accommodate 4 people. The kitchen is fully equipped (but no kettle). Shower and bathroom are great. Linens and towels very sufficient. Apartment well cleaned. Bedroom and Living Room and Kitchen all have lovely large windows - so aired and well light. Apartment is on the 2nd floor - but this did not create any problems for us. Building is clean and quiet and safe. Location is very convenient - approx 8 minutes walk from both Gare du Nord and Gare de L'Est. Area is residential and quiet - with convenient late night small super-markets and some good boulangeries and pharmacy. Communication with Baptiste was smooth and prompt - he was not there to meet us in person but arranged with a friend to welcome us - and this went well. We would like to thank Baptiste for sharing his home with us for a successful trip to Paris.
