The appartment is as described in the advertisement: bright & spaceous with a wonderful view, especially compared with Parisian norms. With other older Parisian places it has in common though that it's not soundproof; you can follow the conversation of your neighbours at times. It didn't affect my stay and slept very well. The owner is a very warm person, welcoming and cooperative in finding the best solutions for practical questions as the deposit of luggage, hotspots nearby, etc. The neighbourhood is not yet spoiled with the usual suspects of big city consumerism. It's a great departure for your city adventures.
