The apartment is lovely, spacious and extremely well located - very close to oberkampf and republique station and only 15 minutes from gare du nord. There are many good restaurants and bakeries around the area. The living room is well-furnished but beware that the bedroom has an open wardrobe with the owners clothes and things on display - which can make some people feel weird. The bath is also in the bedroom without a door, which is nice for couples but inconvenient if you're just traveling with friends. We had some confusion checking-in to the apartment as the instructions provided were not clear but otherwise a really nice stay.
