This somewhat shabby chic apartment is in a great location at the foot of Montmartre. Plenty of markets and restaurants nearby, and good access to Metro and other transportation. As others have stated, it is a bit noisy. With bars and restaurants lining the streets, there is considerable street noise until late at night, then trash trucks early in the morning. This is somewhat expected when staying in the heart of a big city, but it is still something to be aware of. Ear plugs helped considerably for those of us who use them. The apartment is well outfitted with pots, pans and other utensils, washing machine (no dryer) and standing bath/shower (no curtain). The towels were a bit skimpy for 6 people, but we made do. There was plenty of space for 6 of us (4 adults and 2 children). We managed to avoid the worst of the heat waves so the lack of A/C was not an issue for us, but it could clearly be uncomfortable in hot weather.
