We booked this listing due to its proximity to our favourite area in Paris and based on its very competitive price. Having visited Paris before, we knew that getting around is a breeze providing you have good access to a Metro Station. With three stations and Gare du Nord all in walking distance we weren't disappointed. The multi-cultural neighbourhood offered a diverse alternative to the touristy Paris, which we much preferred. Prior to our arrival we received detailed correspondence from Veronica regarding access to the apartment building which was complimented by detailed info folder and brochures, travel guides, etc. inside the apartment. We were amazed at how well the kitchen was stocked with groceries and the shower room with toiletries, all at our disposal. The building and courtyard were well secured; the building itself had so much character and we would have loved to have learned more about its history! The apartment was clean and homely with a tasteful interior design, induction cook top, oven, dishwasher and washing machine/dryer and is most certainly suitable for a small family for a short stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights and would happily return. Big thanks to Veronica for making us feel so welcome!
