This was a great location if you want to stay in a more parisian location (local spot) the apartment was safe and right next to a metro location which was great. The streets around the apartment get a little busy. This is a great spot if you are looking for a small apartment that is comfortable and accessible for your stay in Paris. Warning the walls are very thin, we heard everything and the neighbors even heard our dog one night- but that is to be expected in most older cities.
