This apartment is a great budget friendly option in the heart of Paris. Gilian lives right upstairs and was very friendly. While you won’t get amazing views from your windows, you are walking distance to many attractions and other great streets and neighborhoods. The apartment is tucked back off the bustling Rue St Denis, so it’s quiet other than the occasional resident coming or going. We traveled to Paris with our high schooler who walked all around the neighborhood on his own. We felt very safe and would chose to stay here again.
