If you are looking for the quintessential Parisian apartment in a Hausmann building, this it it (with the modern amenities). Super spacious apartment with a great streetscape view. High ceilings, big windows, amazing crown molding plus good water pressure and an elevator. I visit Paris regularly and love this neighborhood. Franprix (grocery story) is on the ground floor, 2 metro tops within 3 blocks and more if you are willing to walk 6 blocks, make this apartment well-situated within a great neighborhood. It is an older, beautifully maintained building so that does mean squeaky floors and other quirks but they are all part of the charm.
