Pauline's Airbnb is absolutely wonderful. Just 25 minutes on foot from Gare du Nord, her apartment is located on one of the nicest streets in Paris: the Rue Montorgueil. This pedestrianised walkway is packed with classy restaurants, gorgeous delicatessens and affordable markets. It's an absolute gem of a place and Pauline's light-filled third floor apartment gives you access to this wonderful quarter whilst being high enough from the street level to ensure the hubbub is distant so you get a good night's sleep.
I visited during the general strike so to get around I relied on the Velib' bikes and Dott/Bird scooters that are so readily available in Paris, and they worked out very well - there are docking stations less than 30s walk from Pauline's apartment and you've therefore got the whole of Paris at your feet!
The apartment is clean, spacious and comfortable, with a really nice kitchen and comfortable living space. I felt totally relaxed and at home here!
You'd be hard pressed to find a better place to base yourself in the whole of Paris. Double high five and super thanks to Pauline, a truly excellent Airbnb host!
