The location, near the Gare du Nord, was the reason we chose the place because we had an early morning departure.
Despite the fact that this is a very busy area, it was quiet in the apartment because it is in a building that is behind the building facing the street. Very nice to be in such a calm place.
The bed was supremely uncomfortable. Every movement in it came with squeaks and other noises. There was no support at all under the mattress. The only reason we were able to sleep the second night was because we took the mattress off of the squeaky frame and put it on the floor.
