While the studio/apt. is located in a very lively neighborhood (good restaurants, great transportation....), it is surprisingly extremely quiet for sleeping. The security in the building is excellent. Since we are in our seventies and often returned to our studio between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., it was important for us to feel safe in the street when approaching the building. The neighborhood gave us that security.
We have already recommended the studio to friends who live in the United States and in France outside of Paris. We certainly hope to use the apt. again.
