Centrally located. Very close to the Republique metro station which is a metro line crossroads and also very close to Gare du Nord to get to the CDG airport. The canal St Martin just up the street makes it a nice beautiful and peaceful urban walk. Apartment has lots of character: the compound entrance, the building entrance, and the apartment itself. Incredibly bright due to skylight and large windows even for gray Paris sky, architecturally very well designed. Very quiet despite central location. Main bedroom overlooking courtyard, great for getting a good night's sleep. Good exercise for us walking up the stairs. Very responsive host.
