The apartment itself is very nice, newly remodeled and clean. Also, it is located on the back side of the building, on the 5th floor (small elevator available), which eliminates street noise. The fold-out bed is good. Two-burner induction cook top and adequate kitchen ware. Quarters would be adequate but tight for two; for one person, it's perfect. Two windows make it light, and the view is open over back courtyards and workshops. This is not a great Parisian neighborhood. It's relatively dirty with street parking making cleaning difficult. Grocery shopping and bakeries just up the street. In relation to the metro system, there are a couple of stops nearby, so access is pretty good. It's a 15-minute walk, too, to the Bastille neighborhood.
