The location was interesting as the neighborhood was quite unexpected. There is a lot of noise from the people in the streets and it goes until very late at night until 2-3am. The 5 floor walk up definitely a lot so that is something to keep in mind if you are unable to climb many stairs. The linens for the sofa bed were not cleaned and so we did have to wash them ourselves and there was a very strong lingering smell of cigarette smoke in the apartment but otherwise the apartment was relatively clean. The metro is very close by as well as a grocery store which was nice. Takes about 30-40 mins by metro to be in central Paris.
