My friend recommended this area as it's safe and family-friendly. JN's apartment is easy to get to restaurants, shops, and metro. It is on the second floor and it's generally very quiet when you close all the windows, but it's definitely not soundproof. You can hear neighbor's coughing and flushing the toilet if you open the window in the bedroom, but I guess you cannot expect too much from these charming Parisian apartments. I wish the host prepared some hair shampoo and bodywash, we can only use handsoap for everything when we arrived on the first night. We communicated this issue with the host but he rejected to provide it. The carpets could benefit from thorough vacuuming. And the sinking dining chairs can be replaced. Overall, we liked our experience.
