I have visited Paris several times, and this area is the absolute heart of Paris. This apartment was perfect, it is very clean, quiet and safe. There are two secure doors in place to pass through before you arrive at the apartment. The nights were very quiet and peaceful. The apartment is spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable. There are three metro stations less than a 10 minute stroll from the property, and so many places to eat and pastry shops surrounding the apartment. There is a full grocery store less than 5 mins away. This is a very highly recommended property, the communication was easy and I had absolutely no problems for the week that I was there.
