Mathile's apartment was a good fit for our family of six. The spaciousness of the light-filled living areas made up for the small kitchen and bathroom. I enjoyed playing on the piano, the kids loved to ride the tiny elevator up to the 4th floor. While there was some traffic noise from the boulevard below you could not hear it at all with closed windows and the back bedroom was very quiet even with open windows. The neighbourhood was great, you are only steps from the Metro and the hills of Montmatre.
