This is a renovated apartment in a building and neighborhood undergoing gentrification by a hip, bobo demographic. This has become my favorite neighborhood in Paris. Kitchen amenities, from appliances to the herbs growing in the apartment's window boxes, were excellent for cooking. Dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer were relatively new, top of the line models that worked perfectly. North and south exposures (un appartement traversant) made lack of a/c in summer more than tolerable. View across courtyards to opposite apartments recalled Hitchcock's Rear Window a bit, both in the good and bad senses (interesting peek into lives of locals, but need to wear clothes when windows were not shaded). Near complete lack of street noise was quite welcome. I can't wait to stay there again.
