The apartment is small. But, for the price and location, it is a great value and very convenient. It is ideal for a solo traveler our couple. The apartment was clean and had the basics. There is noise from a restaurant in an alley. But you can close the windows without a problem. The noise wasn’t a big deal and consisted of people talking rather than street traffic noise. Dozens of restaurants , high end shops, and the Louvre are all a few minutes away. We did not need to use the subway during the two days we stayed. Would recommend.
