This was a fabulous stay for our first time using airbnb and our first time in Paris. The apartment is very quiet, yes there is some noise from the square down below, but not really distracting to us. It felt like part of the experience. The proximity to the Subway/Metro was awesome, and there are lots of nice little Cafes and Restaurants very close to the apartment. A few short metro stops and you can be anywhere in Paris in about 15 minutes. I would highly recommend staying here. It is fairly small, but that is what we expected. Thanks Marie for such a great place!
