The flat was excellent and certainly worked for a family of 6 (2 kids in one room, 2 others in their own rooms and adults in the main bedroom). Noriko was extremely helpful leading up to our visit and answered a number of questions. The instructions for the flat were good and worked well.
We arrived at Gare du Nord and the flat is easily in walking distance.
We were met by friends of Noriko who gave us the keys and showed us around.
The flat was a great place to explore Paris from. There are two metro stations within easy reach. There are shops and restaurants just outside the flat giving numerous options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The street can be a little noisy at night, but for four teenagers it was a chance to listen to a Parisien street and all the character that provides.
During the visit we had a couple of questions and Noriko answered promptly and very helpfully.
Overall......a great experience from a great host.
