We had the pleasure of staying here during Bastille weekend and I must say, it made our trip more enjoyable! The place was clean and well kept; basic amenities (towels, toiletries etc.) were provided, along with snacks for our stay. Being from NYC, I found the place ideal since it was centrally located and in a lively neighborhood. Even with all the activity in the neighborhood (Bastille Day & world cup championship) the noise level was not a problem during the day or at night. Most of the popular tourist attractions are a short tube ride away and if you'd prefer to stay local, there were more then enough places to hangout within walking distance to the apartment. Our host was also very friendly and extremely helpful in giving tips on how to interact with Parisians. He gave loads of recommendations on things to do during our stay and even hung out with us a few times.
