Mercedes's flat is an extremely spacious, stylish, comfortable, up-to-date-yet-traditional Paris flat in a neighborhood that's both convenient and somewhat off the beaten track. Staying there, you're in an authentic Parisian neighborhood surrounded for the most part by locals rather than tourist: lots of good restaurants, bars, bakeries, and grocers in easy reach. Given its location up several flights of stairs (with a small elevator available as well), the flat seems best for travelers who can climb stairs and aren't weighed down by too much luggage.
