Anne was there to greet us warmly. She gave us a tour of the apartment and ensured that we understood how everything worked. She provided us with both telephone and email contacts, so that any problems could be dealt with in a timely fashion.
Butter, milk and other start-up items were provided to get us going in an extremely well appointed kitchen.
The apartment was as depicted in the photos. It was clean and tidy and the bed was extremely comfortable. Given its close proximity to Gare du Nord , it was surprisingly quiet.
The neighbourhood was one we were familiar with. Although a little rough around the edges, this part of the Tenth offers everything you could want. The Marche Saint Quentin is arguably one of the best markets in the city. There are numerous little grocery outlets within minutes of the apartment, and a pharmacy is located two doors down. Metro and Bus Service is convenient and offers you immediate access to anywhere in the city.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Anne's flat and would recommend it to anyone who wants to see Paris in quiet comfort.
