Nice apartment in a quiet and pleasant part of Paris. The apt is on the second floor (one flight up) facing the street. So it is close to the street and there was occasional noise. For some reason on Sat night some drunken party with lots of singing went on until 3 am. Like most old Paris apt buildings, you can hear the neighbours come and go but we were not too bothered by it. The laundry machine was not working. I tried it and it leaked all over the floor - rather annoying and I had to clean it up. I notified the owner but it was not repaired in the 12 days we stayed there. There is a self service up the street so we used that instead. Much better laundry machines at the self service as well. Kitchen is nicely renovated and equipped. Bathroom also nicely renovated. On the whole, good value and a nice place to stay.
