The apartment is better than we expected. It is good for 3 people or two couples. The location is just two blocks to Abbesses metro station - very convenient to get around Paris, if you don’t mind taking the metro (buy the Paris metro card as it will save money). There is a shop two doors away to buy milk, coffee, etc. & lots of restaurants very close by. We did not find it noisy with the window/patio door closed, and even with it open it was not bad (I wore ear plugs and an eye mask, and had no problem sleeping at all with the door open.). The stairs to the basement are steep, like a ladder, but we had no trouble with them. We put the fireplace grate in front of the opening to the basement, to ensure no-one accidentally stepped near the opening while in the kitchen area. The beds were comfortable, and the unit was very clean. We loved the outdoor patio as it provided extra space and was lovely to sit with a coffee in the morning while people were getting ready, and for a glass of wine before bed after returning from full days of exploring Paris. We would stay here again.
