This is a great apartment if you are traveling in a group or with family. Large by Paris standards, it was perfect for our group of 5 adults. The neighborhood didn’t offer much in our taste for food, but was close to 2 Metro stations, and we walked down a few blocks and found something we could all agree on. It did take about 45 minutes to get to the Eiffel Tower and other sites, so it is a way out, but a great value overall. Vanessa is a fantastic host and responded to any questions we had in a quick and friendly manner. It seems a bit strange to not be able to see out of the apartment, but Vanessa had 2 fans, which helped to move the air about a bit.
