Vladimir's apartment is really lovely. It's a beautiful space with a lot of charming details, very well-decorated, and quite spacious. Sadly when I was there it was too chilly to spend much time on the patio, but it was really nice to have the greenery right out the windows and on a sunny day it would be a great place to spend time. The kitchen is very well-equipped. The neighborhood is perfect, a place where people live and work, not in the heart of tourist activities, but with everything you might need nearby - a great bakery right across Blvd Magenta, Marche Saint-Quentin a few blocks away. The neighbors were audible from the bedroom, so I would advise earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
