This is an amazing apartment, with artistic touches and a genuine Parisien feel. With 3 grown boys we fit in there with privacy and comfort, which is a rare find especially at these prices.
There is 24/7 central heating and hot water, much appreciated when temps outside were near freezing. In fact we turned down the heat a bit :)
The location is almost central. If you are an avid walker you can even walk downtown (~30 minutes); if not, a few metro stops on a direct line will get you there easily. It's a working-class neighborhood with modern apartment buildings, so don't expect the overall setting to be picturesque. But it was very safe in day and night, and the perfect fit for us. Dining and groceries are plentiful within 2-3 minutes walk.
Overall, a great value and highly recommended for families.
