The apartment houses a story which I really like. It used to be a an old bakery. The apartment has nice tiles, colors that showcases the vintage look. The location is excellent being in the hub of paris. A cafe across the street, subway a block away and shops just around the block. It was very convenient. It has a small shower with hot running water that in cold weather, makes it nice and comfortable. The only thing I would like to see is extra blankets. I was really cold with the thin comforter and there was no extra heater except the one on the ground floor. THe apartment is on the ground floor so you will hear some motorcycles and people walking by. In the night it is fairly quiet. I always bring ear plugs and slept like a baby.
