This is a decent location for a trip to Paris. A very bustling neighborhood, away from "touristy" areas but near enough to a few metro stops. Pros: proximity to Metro and groceries. Delicious Turkish food and lovely shopkeeper at Deli's Time downstairs. Spacious enough for more than two travelers. Cons: linens were clean but stained. Apartment furnished in modern style but shows wear and tear. The washing machine was inoperable, counter to advertisement. That created a problem considering all of us packed assuming a washing machine was onsite. Host made no effort to compensate for the lack. Host also agreed to allow us to keep bags at the apartment a few hours past check out but then changed her mind the day before departure.
