Beautiful, newly renovated and quite spacious appartment on the 7th floor (with an elevator) of a typical Parisian residential building. Very light and airy, with plenty of daylight streaming in and even a glimpse of the Sacré Coeur in the distance.
Comfy bed and shower and a nicely equipped kitchen suitable for making breakfast and lunch.
Not a touristic area at all, but just "ordinary Paris", with a boulanger on one corner for croissants and baguette in the morning, a small local supermarket on the other and a few small neigborhood restaurants and cafés in walking distance. Farmers Market on Saturday.
A métro station is at about 5 mins walk from the apartment, and there is a direct bus to Gare du Nord (or to the centre in the other direction).
Margot and her husband were great hosts, going out of their way to make our stay very pleasant. We were the first guests at the apartment, but there were no issues at all. We will certainly try to return, because we had a great time.
