Great location right on the edge of the 11eme, with Metro & 96 bus minutes from the front door. The neighborhood is vibrant & young with lots of restaurants, shops, clubs, etc. This is a great choice if you want day-to-day Parisian life, away from the usual tourist haunts. The apartment was lovely and just as I expected. Alexandra was an awesome host and always available for questions. There's only one thing I would wish for-- an elevator. The old, winding stairs are hard going, especially with luggage.
