A superb location - very convenient and the actual apartment is both sparkling clean and very quiet. Marie was a great host and very willing to fit with my plans. When I arrived I felt a little worried - the entrance is opposite a bar and as I climbed the stairs I could hear musicians practicing. But do not be concerned - the apartment is on an internal courtyard and very quiet. I have stayed in several Paris flats for one and this was the most spacious, the quietest and the cleanest. There are so many local amenities that I didn't get the chance to try them all. For me the outstanding thing was the cleanliness - i like to walk indoors barefoot and Marie's apartment was so clean that this was not a problem.
