Apartment was a perfect location for me as I needed to be close to the apartment where my son was moving into in the 15th district It was very basic but clean and could be a bit noisy at night if you kept the windows open to stay cool but probably less so than would have existed in a busier area. Loved the lack of crowds during the day and there was a great French restaurant down the street. Despite its distance from the center of Paris, it was not hard to get around. Very close to the Seine which is beautiful to walk on.
