This studio apartment is a small flat with a futon and Murphy bed for sleeping. The unit is on street level with the windows facing a busy tourist filled street in Montmartre. The only way to let fresh air into the apartment is to open the aforementioned windows. Then the people walking by can see straight into the flat and can even enter the flat if they desired, as the windows are very tall, from the street to the ceiling. When the windows are closed, there is still a significant amount of noise in the flat from all the pedestrians.
There is a third window in the flat that faces the interior entrance corridor of the building. Each time someone turns on the hall light (upon entering or exiting the building during the evening), the entire studio is lit up even though there are shutters on the windows. This makes it very difficult to fall asleep because people come and go all night long.
The flat is in a nice location with plenty of shops and cafes within walking distance and the metro stop at the end of the block.
