Jonathan's flat is very spacious with 2 good size bedrooms and large living area. It is close to the metro and buses are also very close as is Gare du nord. It is not close to the major tourist attractions but public transport would make that ok. We stayed during the strikes so it was difficult but Jonathan can't control this. There is a very nice patisserie just down the street. I recommend Jonathan's apartment it is large comfortable and great value.
