This place was perfect for a single traveler's first trip to Paris. I walked from Gare du Nord in about 20 minutes. I was met outside the apartment and shown how to enter (there are multiple keys). It's a little oasis in the middle of Paris! The studio was spotless and exactly as pictured. I absolutely loved the neighborhood and felt very safe there. There is literally a cafe on every corner. Everything I wanted / needed was within a short walk including the Metro station, Arts et Metiers. All in all, a perfect "home base" from which to explore Paris.
