We enjoyed staying at this apartment! It has all the little conveniences that make your trip easier--hair dryer, clothes washer and dryer, dishwasher, Nespresso, TV. Plus, the hostess is so thoughtful about stocking the refrigerator with milk, juice, and yogurt so you don't have to run out right away, just to make a cup of coffee after a long trip. Beautifully decorated--mid century modern and the bed is so comfy. We easily walked from the Gare du Nord. The neighborhood isn't posh, but has good restaurants, a good bakery, cheese store, and wine stores. Good access all over Paris from Chateau d'Eau Metro. We would definitely stay again.
