The apartment was very spacious and clean, the 3 flights up were very easy. The neighborhood was beautiful but far from touristy things which can be a good thing. We loved keeping the windows open on warm nights but the noise from a local bar or apartment were very loud. It’s very close to the metro, cafes and restaurants. We didn’t cook but the kitchen was very nice. The garbage trucks come every morning @ 6:45 except Sundays! I wake up early so it didn’t bother me, and if the windows were closed it wouldn’t be too loud. So it’s a great apartment for cooler weather visits to Paris!
