Yukie was extremely helpful and swiftly responded to my email about how to access the flat. Perhaps ask her which number it is before you arrive to avoid my issue with a phone failure. She also left helpful instructions for me while I was away from the flat.

As charming as Yukie was the flat itself, set in a traditional french apartment building with an interior courtyard although facing the street, which is lively and social. However, the double glazed window was an effective sound barrier. I was delighted that it was very conveniently designed (for a small person), comfortable and in absolutely pristine condition, very well-decorated with a lovely cornice and nice fittings.

Buildings of this period are a bit noisy (plumbing, neighbours etc) so bear that in mind if you are used to total sound insulation. Couronnes metro and the 96 bus into the centre of Paris are mere metres away.
