We were pleasantly surprised to find this bustling neighborhood in Paris that we had never heard of! One block from a busy market street, 10 minutes walk to many restaurants and a metro on the same block. We drove in and it was close enough to the Periferique that we thankfully didn't have to drive too much in central Paris! Paid garage across the street. The apartment was clean and well equipped. I actually chose this place because of the small loft. I figured it would give our teenager some space and it worked out great. The only thing I will add is that I was unaware when booking that the apartment seems to be someone's residence and it was a little strange to have personal belongings out in the open (ex.- bathrobes hanging in bedroom, closet filled with household items, toiletries in bathroom). There was also not a dresser or closet available for renters. A little inconvenient to live out of suitcases on the floor since we were there for 5 nights. Otherwise, this is great place for exploring Paris!
