My husband and I had a lovely stay at the apartment. The location is really perfect. It's in a central arrondissement without being on an overly populated street with tons of people tracking up and down day and night. The metro is incredibly easy to take but if you like walking, you can really walk to so many places of interest, which we loved. The apartment is on the ground floor (it's a renovated storefront) we didn't find street noise to be a problem (just regular big city stuff). The apartment is, however, near the front door of the building and the stairs. I was worried it would be a problem for sleeping but I'm a light sleeper and in the end it didn't bother me. If you are very sensitive to noise while sleeping , though, you may want to consider this. The bed was really comfortable and that is pretty important to me. The bathroom was spacious and it was nice to have the kitchen amenities but the best part about this place is the central location and I can't emphasize this enough.
