The location is amazing. the high ceilings and french doors bring in a lot of natural light. There is noise from the street but its Paris at the end of the day so it's expected. If you open the windows make sure you close them properly because the are no bars to deter intruders. The shower rain head is wonderful except that since it's a first floor flat the smell of sewage will come up but goes away after you run some water down it. Great place in the 3rd and highly recommended.
