The area is great for getting about if you aren’t put off by the ‘popular’ feel in the neighbourhood, can be tricky at night time but I know Paris very well so wasn’t put off. The flat was cute, under the ceilings on the third floor, had everything we needed for our stay. Annoying bathroom mirror on the back door of the bathroom so sat on the toilet seat (as small and a bit awkward) which cracked as cheap plastic, but apart from that it was good value for money. Dry close to metro, a stones throw to Montmatre and the Moulin Rouge (red light district), and five minute walk from the Gare du Nord which is convenient for the Eurostar. I would recommend it for people who are a little bit street wise at night time.
