Book this flat for the view alone...it is worth every penny! Plus the air conditioning, elevator access, private building & apartment, great kitchen & a washing machine to boot! It is close to a metro stop (Poissonnière) and a delicious patisserie right next to the metro where we stopped every morning for a take-away breakfast. Gare du Nord is just up the hill as well so a great flat for easy access to the rest of the city. Raphael was easy to chat with through AirBNB & made coordinating check-in super easy & flexible! We would stay here again & recommend to friends!!
