We had a great stay here and would definitely recommend this apartment. The apartment is lovely. It has a lot of character, and is very well equipped, with hot water, coffee machine and useful instructions left by the host. Isabelle is an attentive and responsive host.
We had to collect the key from a nearby Hoard spot when we arrived, which was new for me, but wasn't too stressful even though we didn't know the area at all yet. Thank god for Google maps!
The location is really good once you learn exactly where the nearest entrance to Gare du Nord is, but we were experts by the end of day 2, getting to the city centre in around 10 minutes.
The area is busy, with a boulangerie and supermarket very nearby. It's quite a multicultural neighbourhood, with lots of Indian grocery stores and restaurants in your doorstep.
Once we got our bearings it was perfect, and we fell in love with the flat itself, feeling we got a flavour for our host's personalities, with its artwork, books and decorative furniture from all over the world, making every corner of the flat unique and characterful.
