We stayed here during a really cold week in February and the apartment was really warm and cozy. The location is really good and we felt like locals being slightly away from the main tourist areas which was great. People were really friendly and our basic French language attempts were well received. Bars and cafés in the area are wonderful. I would strongly recommend the apartment and area for a couple for a short break in Paris and to see a slightly 'warmer' side of Parisians!
