We had a lovely few days in Paris. Laure's apartment is beautiful and the view of the Sacre Coeur from the windows is stunning. Apartment was well equipped - kitchen utensils for cooking, washing machine, coffee maker. Great location for traveling on the Metro, just two stops away from Gare du Nord. Lovely bakery and Franprix supermarket just over the road. We stayed during a heatwave, so had to have the windows open - if you're a light sleeper, bring some earplugs for the traffic noise (if the windows are closed, you can't hear anything so that's okay). Also make sure you can walk up six flights of stairs. It's well worth it :)
