The apartment is lovely, spacious, and quite comfortable. The beds were comfortable and I appreciated the updated bathroom (the shower was great!) It's very close to the Gare du Lyon, which is an easy connect to Le Metro throughout Paris and trains to the rest of France/Europe! The place is surprisingly quiet being so close to the Gare (yes the room in the front is louder than the room off the courtyard as another visitor mentioned!) With the large windows open (and there are fans available in the rooms) it was cool enough despite the summer heat. Merci beaucoup!
