Lots of natural light. Overlooks a big garden on one side and two schools on the other (one preschool and one middle/high school). Neighborhood is generally quiet — some embassies and government buildings, as well as lots of Parisians. Not too many tourists. Good subway access to a couple of lines (10 and 13), with connections to all other lines. The host/company is very responsive. One of the toilets is electrical (new concept to us); a little temperamental but fine overall. We had a great time.
