Mercedes flat is in a great location right near the Bastille monument, perfect for eating out, shopping and connecting with the Metro. It is modern and clean with everything you may need on holiday. You need to climb 4 flights of stairs (which is ok) and you are futher from mild street noise, and the view is great. The Windows screen out street noise really well. Nice breeze when they're open. We would highly recommend Mercedes' flat to any travellers be it for business or pleasure. Thanks again, loved our holiday.
