I loved the neighborhood but it probably is not for everybody. Rue Fauborg St. Denis is loud and raucous at all hours -- full of hipsters and immigrants from all over the world. The quiet and well-lit apartment is in the back of the building so it doesn't face the street (third floor walk-up). The shower could use some TLC and the toilet lid won't stay up but other than that, it was a fun place to stay and a pretty decent value.
