We (a family of four) stayed here over Easter 2014. The apartment was superb value as it has two real bedrooms (not a living room turned in to a bedroom at night), a full kitchen/dinner with table and chair, and a separate spacious living room/lounge. There is lots of natural light in the apartment from various windows/French doors. The furniture is not new or modern, but adequate for rental purposes. The apartment is clean and comfortable. The street that this apartment is on is a little run down. However, it is very close to Rue Montorgueil and the Sentier or Reaumur Sebastopol Metro stations. Although Sentier is technically nearer, if you are travelling from the Gard du Nord station, getting off at Reaumur Sebastopol is better (no changes and less hassle with baggage). Everything you need is on your doorstep, less that a few minutes walk from the apartment. Lots of restaurants, cafes, small shops and bigger supermarkets - the choice is endless. The Louvre, Notre Dame and Gallery Lafayette are within a comfortable walking distance, as well as Republic and the Marais. In fact, most places on the north side of the Seine are not that far to walk and even less by Metro. So, in conclusion, we would stay here again and we are happy to recommend this apartment.
