Martinez apartment is in a very old apartment block but is quite Parisian so you can feel like a local during the day with fruit stalls pastries shops fish shops fromage shops and a supermarket across the very busy road. The apartment is in the 17th area so quite a long way from the main tourist area. We felt the area may not be very safe late at night but great during the day. The main entrance hall and public areas of the building could do with a good clean but Martinez apartment was lovely and clean and spacious. Unfortunately there was a water leak in the toilet and kitchen which got worse over our stay but we managed to find an extra towel to mop it up. All in all we had a pleasant stay and the bed was very comfy. Value for money.
