First the good. Close to a lot: metro, bus, grocery, McD, patisserie, boulangerie, kebob ships, carousel, easy walk to Sac Couer. The windows when closed filter out 99% of street noise The balcony views are very nice. The bad: NOT 360 DEGREE VIEWS. hot water is scalding as are the pipes. tiles are in need of repairs(danger to get cut on). Place needs a deep clean. We would recommend the location to someone with kids 10 or older, but let them know about the mistated views. Overall we enjoyed are stay. The stairs are not that bad. Papi is very nice!
