Excellent location in the center of Paris on a pedestrian street surrounded by cafes and shopping. Lucas warned me about noise, since the cafes have large and popular outdoor seating areas. The cafes are busy starting in the afternoon to maybe midnight, but I didn't find the noise to be bothersome. I didn't hear traffic or music from clubs, but rather a constant buzz of indistinct conversations of people enjoying themselves. The apartment itself was clean and bright and had everything I needed for a short stay.
