The unit was very convenient to the railway stations (Gare de Nord & Gare de L'est) as well as Metro stations. the supermarket, fruit & vegetable store and a number of patisseries were also very handy. Our hosts were very professional and thorough in their explanation of the apartment. There was some noise from the level above most nights until about midnight (children running), however this was not so loud as to prevent us sleeping. Our hosts did explain about a problem with the kitchen taps dripping and not being particularly secure. This was true and correct, and they do have the intent of getting this repaired in the future.
Irrespective of those issues, the apartment was great value for the location and convenience.
