I was looking for something near gare du nord and this was a great apartment for my wife and I because of the proximity to the station and because I felt right at home. Florence is a great host and made it so easy for us to check in and out of the apartment without any problems. Just some quick tips to keep in mind for future renters the apartment was clean and the TV and shower water was amazing unfortunately there was no elevator in the building and the apartment is on the 4th floor and the area because its near a main station is not the safest or prettiest part of Paris. All in all we enjoyed our stay and we will definitely be letting Florance know next time we are in Paris
