The apartment was perfect for us. We were a group of three women and we found the apartment clean, comfortable, and quite charming. The shower was very nice. We arrived and departed on the Eurostar and the apartment is a short walk form the gare du Nord. It is up one flight but there is an elevator (lift), which is big enough for your luggage. Hadjila met us and made sure we were comfortably settled. The neighborhood was residential but contained multiple cafes and a nice bakery. We don't speak French but had no trouble communicating. It was an easy walk to multiple metro (subway) lines into the heart of Paris to see the historic sights. We would certainly stay there again.
