Overall had a great time staying in this flat in Paris! Pierre, Enguerrans friend, who was our contact was very nice and helpful explaining the area to us. It's very easy to get to the metro (3-5 minute walk ). Grocery store right down the street as well as many restaurants. Great bakery right down the street that has awesome almond croissants! The only negative is some noise. Overall it's a quiet street but you can hear/feel the metro underneath the apartment and since the apartment is right over the entrance to the complex you hear when people enter. It wasn't a huge deal just should be aware of it. Also, while we didn't have any safety problems, we did feel a little uncomfortable with the neighborhood in the evenings. But for the price it was great and met all our needs and I wouldn't have a problem recommending this flat to someone else.
