As many reviewers have already said, the apartment is in a great location with public transportation, restaurants, etc very close to your door. We have visited Paris before and really enjoy the area that the apartment is in. The apartment overlooks an inner courtyard so there is no problem with street noise. The apartment is clearly the owner's home and the kitchen, though small, is well stocked. Overall, this is a good apartment for the money but it does have some drawbacks. It's location overlooking an inner courtyard means there is very little direct light coming through the windows. The sofas in the living room are worn, the wooden parquet floor is old, creaky and the apartment could really use a deep cleaning.
