Pascal 's apartment was nice. Although we didn't meet her, communication was good. It was clean and had the essentials. It's tucked away in a courtyard so you do not hear any street noise. You can hear the subway going by but it's not that bad and I never noticed it at night while sleeping. It is close to the metro and RER. Fun neighbourhood with lots of cafes, supermarkets and great shopping. The only downside is there are no windows in the apartment that open, so you cannot get fresh air while inside. Also, the ceilings in the loft are low, I'm 5"6 and had to bend over quite a bit while walking upstairs. I would recommend this apartment
