Not really knowing anything about Paris or how to get around, we thought the area was safe to walk around and the apartment was secure. There is the Nation train station within walking distance and for the places we went it only took 2 to 4 stops to get to anything. Apartment was really clean, recently renovated and had a cute little balcony to sit and have coffee or wine. We weren't there very long but turned out to be perfect and compar3d to othere places it was priced perfectly. Glad we booked it when we did!
