Lots of space for a family of 5 and at a great distance from so many metro stops for seeing the city and RER for going to Versailles or Chateau Vincennes etc. Well-stocked grocery store on the corner; delicious falafel and hummus right underneath. While the street-side noise is cheerful and frequent, the back bedrooms are silent until about 9 in the morning and we all slept well. Fridge, stove, dishwasher, electric kettle, laundry all work. (Americans: no dryer!) You can walk or take a city bike to almost any of the major attractions and the area feels pretty safe late into the evening because hundreds of people are still out. Morning is opposite: for the AM runners the neighborhood is asleep until 10 but a few short blocks south are the paths along the Seine. Note: As of April 2022 The interior of the building before you enter the apartment is halfway or in process of being repainted/renovated and doesn't look great, nor was anyone actively working on it, but the apartment itself is very charming.
