It's a great location with several boulangeries, metro stops, a grocery, wine shop, bistros and several pharmacies. Add the great marche Aligre nearby and you have a complete neighborhood. The building is secure, the other tenants friendly and the apartment is large, comfortable and the kitchen fully equipped with modern appliances. The laundry equipment took some time to figure out but once we did, worked fine. The bathroom is spacious. All in all, a highly recommended place.
