While the apartment is a bit austere, it is about what we expected. It is a clean basic place to stay. There is also a washer/dryer that is plus. While there are a couple sex shops on the street, no one bothered us and we felt safe walking, even at night.
The location is great, which was our reason for choosing this apartment. There are many restaurants and shops just outside the door! There are bus stops and metro stations nearby. Because of the transportation strike and because of the apartment’s central location, we were able to walk everywhere, including a one-hour walk to the Eiffel Tower. If location is important to you, you will like this place.
