What a great location in a residential neighborhood! Very near metro lines 5 and 7, as well as a number of bus lines, so we easily got anywhere we wanted to go. Near cafes, restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies. The building is very secure and the apartment was quiet. It's a small apartment, but Solange has done a wonderful job of designing the space. In the downstairs bedroom, the full-wall mural of Paris makes an enclosed space feel more open and gives a sense of one's presence in Paris. In the small kitchen, counter space is increased by having a dish drainer mounted above it instead of upon it.
We had no difficulty getting into the apartment upon arrival, but we did have trouble re-locking the door when we wanted to go out. We called Solange, and she was very helpful as we worked it out.
One word of caution: if a view from the terrace is important to you, you may be disappointed. You will have to crane your neck to see a patch of sky.
We loved our stay. We would stay here again. Solange was a wonderful host.
