Great apartment. Loved the terrasse to hang out at at night. There was a cat smell. We aired out the place a lot, so that wasn't too much of a problem. A few blocks away, toward Gare est, there is a very unpleasant, non-family friendly area, which made our kids uncomfortable. But once we learned to avoid that area in the evening, that wasn't a problem. Bathrooms are in great condition. The apartment is quite spacious. We had a wonderful time in Paris!
