Sparkling clean and newly renovated, this apartment had everything we needed for our stay and was a perfect place to unwind in comfort after a long day in Paris. The apartment is up a few flights of typical European spiral stairs, so be prepared if you have big or heavy luggage. Unit has heat, AC, and automated shutters that provide privacy and keep out the noise from the street facing windows. At most we heard a few cars going by at night but nothing that bothered me as a light sleeper. Very comfortable bed compared to a lot of places we have stayed. By far the best feature for us was the fact that the metro is literally outside the front door. Cannot beat that convenience.
