The apartment is central for getting around but is in a very ethnic neighborhood so be prepared. My experience with Gina, the host, was not the best as she was not responsive to me when I asked her a simple question about her washer. Previous to that I told her that her oven was not working correctly and she gave me a flippant answer and directed me to a website, I'm assuming to fix it myself. Then it died so I couldn't heat up prepared meals i bought and had to eat cold dinners from then on. The neighbors upstairs were very noisy late at night and early mornings so sleep was practically non-existant. For those reasons my experience in Paris was not as I had hoped. It was the last vacation I am able to take and I wanted it to be special. Unfortunately it was not.
