The apartment was as described - it's a small efficiency, but with all the amenities of a full-sized apartment. The bed is comfy, but it's a top bunk, so just be sure that you're ok climbing up the bunk ladder. And it's a six-flight walk-up, so be prepared for that as well, especially with luggage.

The apartment is in a diverse neighborhood (a friend who is a resident one street over from this listing told me that there are over 50 nationalities in the neighborhood and that its diversity and history had made it the focus of several essays and magazine articles), so there is a wide array of restaurants, markets, etc. That said, I agree with the other reviews about using one's street smarts, though it felt safer to me than the more touristy neighborhoods in Paris. If in doubt, you could take an Uber from the nearby train station. Grocery shopping and laundromats are also close by (I used both during my stay).

Recommended for an affordable stay in Paris.
