The best thing about this flat is it's central location -- with decent communication and a somewhat reasonable price based solely on those few factors. With that said - the flat is quite a bit more ramshackle than the photographs look, and a lot tighter quarters than expected. It looks boho-chic and cute, but it's a lot more run down and tight than all that. There's a missing shower door with a shower that poorly drains, a positively filthy sofa, and a general feeling of a lack of cleanliness all around. And be aware that most of Paris apparently doesn't have AC, and this place was unbearably hot during a heat wave since it's on the top floor. If I were to visit again -- I would look for something in the Marais / 2 Arr. where it's less crazy and loud, and on a low floor in the summer.
