I highly recommend this quaint apartment for your Paris visit. Check in was easy even though Chris was away, due to his friend Cedric -whom by the way- was super welcoming. There is a metro just outside the door & others are within very close proximity. There are bars, cafes, shops & businesses within just steps from the apartment & the area felt very safe. The only 1 thing that I can suggest is that if you are an above average height/weight, the shower will not suit you. But otherwise the place is great!!
