This was an amazingly quiet area in Paris, yet close to everything we could need. The metro was only 300 steps away. You'll want to take the metro anywhere you need to go. It's very easy. Lots of cafes and markets to buy food. The terrace is why we chose this Airbnb for our visit. It was wonderful to sit with our coffee or wine! Everything was exactly as advertised. The host communicates well and his daughter met us at the street level with lots of tips for how to enjoy our stay.
