The apartment is located in a lively area with lots of shops, cafes, bakeries and other amenities around. It is walking distance from Gare du Nord and most of the attractions but at least three metro stations are close and you can quickly get to most places in Paris. The apartment has a feel of a place that was not purpose made for letting out to tourists. There are all necessary appliances - well stocked kitchenette, dishwasher and washing machine. There is also a full-size bath which is nice. We (4 people) stayed there for 6 nights and never felt uncomfortable or in need of anything. Marielo was very responsive and gave us tips on local places to have food and buy groceries. There is a small lift good for three people. Overall it was a wonderful stay and I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone.
