The apartment is quite small but if you are going to tour around Paris and not spend much time in the apartment, it is fine. The neighborhood seemed safe and it was fairly quiet. The reason for the 1 star rating is because of what occurred after check out. The hosts accused us of damage that was impossible and requested quite a large sum of payment to recover their loss. The damage looked like normal wear and tear on the stove top. There was no tea or coffee or any food anywhere in the apartment upon arrival and none at the time of departure either. What were we going to cook on the stove top? We were out of the apartment for 12 to 14 hours per day and not interested in cooking our own food. We simply slept there. I would never stay here again because of the difficulty dealing with the aftermath.
