Steven's place was perfectly placed for us to explore Paris, and as we had an early morning train home from Gare de Nord we were only one metro stop away making it quick and easy. A Metro stop right outside made it easy to get everywhere. The apartment had everything we needed for a three night stay - and I was definitely glad of the comfy sofa after walking all day! The neighborhood was pretty noisy due to a big cross roads, the Metro and a hospital next door.
