Remarks in other reviews about location and cleanliness are absolutely correct. Cafes, restaurants, a pharmacy, boulangeries, a wine chop, cheese shop, grocery stores, clothing stores, ATM's and bus and metro lines, as well as the great Bastille Market on Thursday and Sunday and - are all within a short walking distance, as well as the Seine with its attractions. The French habit of just hanging out is in full bloom in the neighborhood. And the school across from the apartment - as opposed to another apartment building - makes for welcome privacy. The management team could be more responsive, however. They delayed an entire week in coming out when the TV didn't work and it turned out to be the batteries in the remote - otherwise it would definitely have been a full 5 star review.
