This well appointed flat has all the essentials and is pretty close to the metro for easy access to all of Paris. It is clean and very comfortable inside. Anthony was very responsive and clear with communications. The bed is a bit hard for my preferences but my husband likes it. What other guests have called a “lively” neighborhood, we would call a very very noisy and crowded neighborhood with thick crowds of people. To get from the metro to the flat, you walk through a very busy and crowded market area that starts around 10 am and seems to be open until 8 or 9 pm everyday. There are always too many people, cars, and piles of rubbish from the market in the street. Every evening (even in winter) people gather in the street below the flat and talk. Their conversations echo off the buildings and street. You can hear every word even with the windows closed. If you are a light sleeper, this is not a good location. And as people return from late night cavorting, their “lively” conversations bounce off the hard surfaces and into the flat.
