Stylish space in a very lively area of Paris, reminiscent of lower Manhattan. Lots of bars and restaurants around mostly serving a clientele of young locals. Close to a few metro stops and not too far a walk from some nice green spaces like the Place des Vosges and Jardin de Plantes. The boulevard is quite busy, lots of traffic 24/7, but tucked back in the bedroom with the fan running we had no trouble with the noise level at night.
