The flat itself was exactly as expected, no surprises. The Simplon Metro station is a two minute walk away. There are multiple grocery stores in the vicinity but the largest/ best one is only a one minute walk away, just down the street (its hidden, definitely not as well marked and flashy as a traditional north American grocery store but still best we found). We felt comfortable enough to be out in the neighbourhood in any time of the day or night. There is a restaurant directly across the street and when a game was on it got a little loud. My girlfriend and i spent just shy of two weeks in the unit and there was enough space for both of us to live comfortably. I cant stress enough how handy the Simplon station nearby though, its line 4 which can take you to multiple major tourist attractions easily. I would stay here again.
