The apartment neighborhood was quiet and homey but nightlife was still close by. I slept on the pull out couch and I was very comfortable! (The pull out couch has a firm mattress.) At night the street lamps are bright so be sure to close the blinds. I found the best part about Olga's apartment to be its proximity to the Seine. Walking along the river banks and accessing the endless restaurants, stores, and museums that line the water was very easy to do from the apartment. There are multiple bus stops near the apartment as well as multiple metro stations, and the foot bridges that line the river make accessing either side a breeze.
