Rue Saint Denis is lined with sex shops, prostitutes, and at least one brothel. Nonetheless, the apartment's proximity to some of the best museums and sites in Paris was convenient. The interior of the apartment was great. Currently there is, however, construction occurring outside of the bathroom and kitchen windows. This noise, as well as that from the apartment on the floor above, prohibited sleeping in past 9 am. Another issue was that the wifi connection routinely (about every 2 hours) stopped working for about an hour.
