This small apartment is well located near a metro station, bus stop and taxi stand-not too far from tourist sites with a grassy park nearby. The place is compact with a few low ceilings but I think that is standard for Paris. Clean and thoughtfully decorated with a helpful guidebook on the sites nearby and how to get around and explore the city. We could tell the hostess put a lot of time into the guidebook! There was construction downstairs which is not the fault of the host, but made for a noisy afternoon until about 6 pm. One night a noisy neighbor decided to play his rap music loudly at 1:30 am but quieted down when asked. The next night was much quieter with less traffic noise but there is some street noise, doors slamming shut, etc. in this unit. The Wi-Fi went out our last night and we could not connect again in the morning. These are the only reasons for the 4 stars. Thank you to our hostess!
