Overall we had a lovely stay at the appartment! It was my first time via Airbnb, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Location is super, very lively neighbourhood where there is a lot to do, see, and eat. Close by Gare du Nord and a few feet away from metro stations (chateau d'eau & strasbourg st Denis). Clean, cozy and nice apartment. Yes there is a lot of noise coming from the streets, also at night, but you get used to it and I slept through it most of the time. There are lots of kitchen utensils but we did not use them all, because there are so many nice restaurants in Paris. Checkout was easy, you can reach Boris by Whatsapp which is very handy. I definitely recommend this stay.
