This is a wonderful Parisian apartment in the 2 Arr. with a lot of wonderful restaurants & bars within walking distance. Public transportation is great in Paris and several bus stops and a metro station are minutes away. The apartment is clean and gives you a true Parisian apartment living. However, the “respect for neighbors” request from quests was one way. While there was outside construction happening, that is part of any city and done only during weekdays and normal daytime hours. We were out of the apartment through most of it. But, there was an after hours renovation project happening in the apartment above this one which started around 11pm and ended around 5 or 6am. No hammering or sawing, but constant walking across the floor and dropping items. This is a great apartment and I highly recommend staying in it, but first contact the host to make sure the renovation project is completed.
