The size of the apartment was more than enough space for me as a solo traveler. I felt at home in this location and safe. The apartment is also in a non tourist section within Paris, which is something I like because I like to be surrounded by the people. A plus was the nearby Gambetta subway station which was perfect for my travel within the city at night or in the day. There were lots of cafes and shops along the way as well as a historic cemetery nearby. I was greeted by the host and his associate, given a tour with instructions, and provided with all the amenities. Both were accessible during my stay. If I were to travel with a group, this would be a perfect location to return to as well. Great selection. I would highly recommend.
