We were warned that the flat was on the 6th floor, not a problem for us. The flat is in a very convenient location, there are fabulous restaurants (rue de charon, rue st maur in 11th and then a few from the flat up to 19th, cheval d'or and a couple of lovely cafes and bars in the rue sorbier), pere lachaise obviously and great transport network- we also walked to places like bastille and republique and the marais- really not too far. The flat itself is stylish and a pleasant place to relax in after a long day. It is a little noisey (other tenants and also the road) but remember you are in a big city so there it is. Lovely place, would recommend.
