The apartment, especially the bedroom was quiet. Bedroom and living room windows face an inner courtyard with steel curtains that will block out all light. A suggestion would be to add another light in the bedroom because it's easy to make the room very dark at night. Kitchen was great; we even made a few meals. Induction stove-top. Bathroom was nice as well. Location is fantastic: very close to 2 different metro lines and fairly close to a third, so they save quite a bit of travel time to most parts of Paris. Very close to an outdoor market. Spacious elevator right to the apartment door. Felt very safe. Would definitely stay again.
