Cool apartment in an excellent location! We did not hear any of the neighbors in the bldg (Not even upstairs). Arriving and departing could be difficult for some because of the stairs (apt is on 3rd floor, which is the French 2nd floor). There are great restaurants, bakeries and shops at the end of the block! The street below can get a bit loud but it would happen anywhere in Paris. We had a great time and I would recommend this apt to anyone who can manage the stairs!
