OK so first thing is that Ed and Muriel are both very friendly people and made my wife and I very welcome. Ed met us when we arrived and Muriel popped up to introduce herself later. They provided an lovely card and even a bottle of wine for my wife's' Birthday and the apartment had all you could need for a few nights in Paris. It was clean, bright and well equipped with the MOST comfortable beds I've slept on for a LOOOOOONG time. Anyway, book it and stay there, The area has lots of Sri-lankan. Indian restaurants and is 8 minutes walk from Gare Du Nord and 30 seconds from La Chapelle Metro- great transport links. Only thing that may trouble some is the stairs but we managed it fine.
