The apartment is clean and charming. The neighborhood is good if you like to be where the locals are. Close to the metro, cafes, pharmacies, and mini marts (like Carrefour Express). You are staying on a busy avenue so it does stay noisy quite late, if that concerns you. It Takes some time to get to the central part of Paris. I liked staying with Renaud because he respected my privacy and he didn't make a lot of noise.
