Great place, modern. Open-space living room with sofa and dining room table, so I was quite able to relax during the day and evening. As someone mentioned, there is a little street noise from the corner, but I am no-noise fanatic, and it didn't bother me. And you can always close the modern sound-proof windows. No noise at night. Bedroom is nice with an electric-controlled outside blind, so you can make it pitch dark if you want (and it is very quiet). There are 60 steps up to the unit for those concerned, but it didn't bother me. That's how people live in Paris. Easy access to two metro stops to get anywhere.
