For the price and location, this apartment fit our needs just fine. Yes, the layout is a little unusual, and the fixtures and fittings are a bit tired in places, but if you're looking for a central Paris address with easy access to several metro stops and close to plenty of restaurants, shops and sights, this more than fits the bill. It can be a bit noisy at night, but come on...it's Paris! Who's sleeping when there's so much to see and do? The host, Eduard, was friendly, prompt and professional throughout the process. The six of us had a great weekend!
