I would not recommend this place if planning to travel Paris by foot, cook in the apartment or spend lots of time inside the apartment. The place felt cluttered and unkept... there was a broken mirror left in the hallway, exposed electrical outlets and wires, and doors with holes in them. It is a cheap place if you're looking to save money, but I personally did not feel it was worth it and regretted my decision to be so far from the city center. The location is noisy so bring ear plugs. The room is big and Edith was fine the seldom times we spoke with her.
