We are a family of five and had plenty of space in the apartment. The online profile was accurate and we felt very safe in the apartment. Anne was most accommodating to our early arrival, which was most appreciated. It was quiet and comfortable. Highly recommend staying here especially if you plan to use Gare du Nord to leave Paris at any point during your stay. Thank you for a very memorable family holiday week in Paris!

Our family of 9 just stayed at this property for 10 days. We were amazed at how our large group easily fit into this space - three couples had their own rooms, and three "kids" fit into the two remaining rooms with 2 boys in one, and 1 girl in the other. The bathroom arrangements worked well, because the three toilets and two showers are split between 4 different rooms, everyone could access a bathroom when needed - shocking with 9 people. We ate breakfast at the apartment each morning and a few dinners as well. We found all the equipment we needed, and all the staples as well (like oil, sugar, salt, etc). The host also thoughtfully left us a bottle of wine which we very much enjoyed! The apartment is on what is essentially the 6th floor - a long walk up! But the elevator, though small, was very fast and we used it a lot. There is no air conditioning (typical in Paris!) and it did get warm towards the end of our stay. The apartment has several fans which helped a great deal! The only negative we experienced was that in leaving windows open to get cool night air, we discovered that Paris has nasty mosquitos! We ended up getting bug spray to reduce the biting. The location is wonderful. A very short walk to the nearest Metro (Poissonaire). Beware that during rush hour the trains are PACKED and since there is no transfer at this stop, you will end up just needing to push on if there is a square inch of space. Fortunately, the trains come constantly, so you can let a couple go by until it looks a little better. Also, walk down to the end of the platform and try for the first car. And it's just a few blocks to Gare Nord, where you can also catch several other metro lines. The host suggests several restaurant options. And the best part of my day was the morning pastry run and getting a cup of cafe creme for myself :) There is a delightful fromagerie nearby (Ferdinands) who was SO helpful and friendly in helping us pick out cheeses! The host was very helpful in our planning and so welcoming when we arrived. Our whole family would highly recommend this property!!

Enough space in the apartment for seven to be together at times and at other times to spend time privately. Location was convenient to Metro, groceries and restaurants. A bit more instruction on use of washer and dryer would have been helpful. We found instructions for trash and recycling a bit confusing. We especially enjoyed the eclectic decor and the wonderful views from multiple rooms.

Our group of seven loved this location. Lots of space and clean bedding. Elevator is very small (2-3 people at time) but part of the old time feel of building. Very authentic Parisian feel. Close to metro and buses and Gare du Nord. Very quiet building. Our only issue was very dim lighting. Anne is very attentive to any needs and concerns.

Nice building, many books...good layout for our family... Thanks

We had two families (4 adults and 4 teenagers) stay for a week at Anne's wonderful home. It was conveniently located near Gare du Nord (walking distance even with rolling suitcases!) and down the hill from Montmatre. We really appreciated coming home in the evening to this quiet neighborhood, and getting away from the crowds of tourists that mob Paris this time of year (yes, we were among them!). Temperatures in Paris for our week were high 80s (F) with humidity (not bad really, but still warm) and add to that the fact that very little is air conditioned in Paris so you get hot and sweaty pretty quickly when you are out and about. This apartment, however, is located on the top floor of the building (there is a small elevator), away from the heat and the noise of the street, and the evening and morning breezes in the home (with all the lovely, huge windows) were so nice and cool. The luxury of 3 toilets (2 bathrooms, 3 toilets) was a big plus for our group, and the unit is so spacious that everyone had space to get away when the need arose. We never tired of the fabulous views of Sacre-Coeur, and the lovely Square Aristide-Cavaille-Coll across the street. The photos are very representative of the home. This is not a perfect, professional rental; it's someone's home and thus feels "lived-in". We spent most of our time in the light-filled living room eating breakfast, planning our day, or having a glass of wine after a long day of sightseeing, before heading out again for dinner. We all agreed that it was a lovely spot. Oh! And the restaurant at the corner (La Maison Bleue) was a good bistro! Our kids scarfed down the tiramisu in 2 seconds flat and I had a tomato/watermelon gazpacho that was fabulous! Thanks for a great stay in Paris!

We loved the place.

We loved the apartment-it was so cool! I don't know when the building was built, but it has to be over 100 years old and has a very authentic feel. That made it even more fun for our family. It felt very safe and secure. The sidewalk café and bakery right down the street was a cool attraction too. Anne was very accommodating and great to work with.
