This place is in a good location. It's 5 to 9 minutes from the 3 closest metro stations and has a number of great bakeries and grocery stores nearby, as well as a number of restaurants. On Sundays and Tuesdays there's a farmer's market nearby, at the Bastille station. There's a washing machine in the apartment, which is very convenient. We really liked the apartment, but there are a few issues: 1) the bathtub is really narrow, so we were a little worried we might trip; 2) the place has a stale smell if the windows aren't left open; 3) there is a lively bar scene every night until late (especially late on Friday and Saturday nights), so there will be a fair amount of noise. That being said, I would definitely stay there again.
