We LOVED this apartment! The metro is about a half block away, we used each of our three days in Paris. We also walked to Montmarc and did some exploring around the neighborhood. It felt like an opportunity to be away from the tourists and see how true Parisians live. The apartment is well-kept and nice and bright. The bed is the bedroom is very comfortable with plenty of space for the pack-n-play. Since we were traveling with children, it was also a real plus to be able to do laundry in the apartment. My only change would be to have the key in a closer location - the 10 minute walk (there and back) to get the key felt tough after getting off a 10 hour flight with two kids.
