The apartment was very clean, and we felt very safe and secure! There are two doors that remain locked in the lobby area, and of course the apartment door locks as well. The location is very central and convenient to the Metro, Centre Pompidou, and so many cafes and markets and shops! Although it is on the 5th floor (91 steps to the top - we counted!), we didn't hate it because it gave us a little exercise to burn off all of the amazing food we had in Paris. Would absolutely stay here again - they made check in and check out so simple and were incredibly helpful and accomodating.
