The apartment is as described and pictured. The location is convenient to a couple of grocery stores. The cafe across the street produced a fair amount of noise hosting events on Friday and Saturday night, but nothing too bothersome. The Bastille metro is a good 10 minute walk and there are a number of cafes and shops on the way. The sofa bed is awfully uncomfortable, even for a pullout. Not a great deal of charm to the place, but very functional.
