We've stayed in a wide variety of places in our travels and have come to appreciate certain qualities in a place. Edith was quick to respond & to provide helpful info. The flat is a 12 minute walk from Gare du Nord: we printed out a Google Maps walking route which made it easy (and wrote the entrance code Edith provided on it as well). The entrance is uninspiring - the lift tiny. But the reward for having navigated the code, the lift and reaching the apartment were worth that. It's as described - No.Am. 7th floor (6th European) which means it's full of light and views over rooftops up & down the street. The cleaning lady really took time to explain everything as Edith was away - and showed us the stack of helpful manuals. The living room has lots of room to stretch out. Such a luxury in Paris! The convenience of the table , lots of seating, a bookcase shelf, a computer table, arm chair meant that our mornings and evenings were very pleasant. The bakery on the corner opens at 7 a.m. for a wonderful collection of pastries. There were only a few coffee pods for the Nespresso but we bought a sleeve at the tasting room next to the Opera and were set. The pantry had olive oil & balsamic, salt, pepper, teas - which came in very handy. While we only used the cooker twice, it was a pleasure having such a fully equipped kitchen. And we got to use the washer dryer to refresh our clothes before heading off to our next stop. The shower - wow! Really roomy (twice the size of the lift!) All in all a charming apt - esp great if you plan to spend time on Montmartre (as we did for the Fete de V). We would recommend the flat to friends and happily stay here again. merci, Edith!
