The apartment is very spacious and was very clean. We felt safe and comfortable inside. Walking distance from the Gare du Nord and close to Metro which is quite easy to navigate. There are many great restaurants and amenities close by, be sure to explore up the hill across the street. That will also lead you to the Montmarter District which is awesome. The only negative we experienced which is out of our hosts control was that it was quite warm so we kept the windows open in the apartment and the courtyard is quite noisy during early hours of the morning.
