it's a cute apartment that indeed looks like on the photos. the location close to gare du nord had its pros and cons - the atmosphere is not very charming and it's super busy during the day but it also offers great connections to anywhere in the city. the streets around the apartment are filled with indian shops and restaurants and canal st.martin and its bars is only a walk away. it never felt unsafe to me. I can also recommend climbing district close to butte chaumont for those into bouldering. what made the stay really great was the communication with Marion. she was very accommodating and even if there would have been issues I'm sure she would have tried her best to make everything perfect :)
