We love the area this Airbnb is in. it's not a touristy spot. There are lots of bars, cafes, bread shops, and patisseries around. It is very close to several metro stops and easy to get around with a short metro ride. The place seems small, but all places in Paris are small since there are so many people. We only needed a place to sleep and this was perfect. We were gone most of the time sight seeing anyways.
