An elegant, extremely quiet oasis away from the tourist hotspots. The bed was definitely firm to hard as mentioned on another review, and that is exactly what we like. During the last hot days of August/September we were able to have the windows open at night with no street noise. The terrain does start to get a bit hilly in this part of the 9th but it is walking distance to the metro line and some great local restaurants and amenities. It suited us as frequent visitors to Paris and we would certainly use this apartment again.
