Marie’s apartment is exactly as advertised. It’s cozy, ideally situated near the metro, lots going on in the neighborhood. We didn’t have any issue with noise, and also felt reasonably safe in the area. After our morning in arrival in Paris, we stopped for breakfast at nearby Le Barbouquin at Marie’s suggestion and it was delightful. We finished our week in Paris going to nearby Buttes Chaumont park at sunset and it was breathtaking. The metro being so close to the apartment was perfect for us, we picked up a week long discovery pass, and used the metro to get everywhere.
