Aside from the construction noise on the roof which occurred during the daytime hours, my stay at the Pompidou Escape was a pleasant one. The apartment is in one of the best Paris neighborhoods (Arrondissements). Exquisite Patisseries', Cafes', Boucheries' and Brasseries' are right outside the building. The Metro Subway # 11 is on the corner and if you don't want to see Paris from a sightseeing bus, well then hop on the Metro Bus # 69.
