This apartment is in a great location. It’s up one flight of stairs. We weren’t bothered by the lack of curtains since it’s not street level. The neighborhood is quiet and close to lots of things. There is a metro station not too far and it is the 8 line which is great for getting to a lot of places. It is definitely a roomy apartment for Paris and the bed is nice. The washer worked nicely for us. You’re always going to find tricky little old city/building issues. We felt this was comfortable and a good value.
