The apartment was very nicely furnished with attention to detail. The area is great if you also like to explore the more buzzling and residential Paris east. Still it's sufficiently quiet in the courtyard. The apartment is a bit smaller than it seems on the picture, but normal for Paris sizes I assume:) The only thing was that it wasn't really possible to open the windows so we had to air through the door and then you felt a bit observed by the neighbors. Also there was only one thick blanket and one of the heaters didn't work, so maybe ask for another blanket if you are a freezy person like me :-)
