Don’t let the outside of the building fool you. The flat is beautiful and the area was safe and convenient. Right near Ground Control which we went to on our last night. There’s no elevator so not for families with handicapped persons. That said plenty of room for a large family. We are 7 and really felt like we had plenty of space. Great kitchen table for gathering. Great sofas for relaxing. Easy access to Dugommier station and Bercy station and park. Great outdoor restaurants near Bercy park. Great place to stay. No downside for us!
