This is a tidy, spare apartment in a secure, quiet block on the outskirts of downtown. There is an excellent bakery, a 3 minute walk away, and a supermarket at 8-9 minutes. The Subway into the city is an 11 minute walk, and the Paris Zoo and accompanying parkland is about the same walk as the subway. The owner was accommodating of our wish to check in early, and the apartment was spotless. In addition to the cooktop and stove, there are a microwave and a small espresso machine (one of those that takes small coffee capsules).
