The apartment is easy to find - a short walk from Gare du Nord or you can take the metro (change at Gare d'est and go to Poissonerie). Because it is set back from the street, it is really quiet and we didn't feel like we were in the centre of Paris at all. The apartment is very small but for 2 of us it was perfect for a weekend. The bed is very comfortable which is always a nice surprise!
