This apartment is on the first floor, behind the stairs through the backdoor. While it is 11th arr., you can't beat the price for a place to stay for 6 people. There is not enough room for everyone to sit down and eat at the table, which really only comfortable fits 3. That being said, the neighborhood felt safe, the boulangerie, fruit stand, and Fran Prix are all right around the corner, and the responsiveness of the host was great. This place is best for a group of 4 or fewer, but it can work for 6 people if you are out all day exploring. There is street noise, nothing atypical. Great price, clean place!
