The apartment was used by son and daughter-in-law will visit my wife and me in Paris. Hence, my comments are second hand. They found the apartment very clean and well appointed. The area is quiet but quite close to many places or interest, good restaurants, several museums (Monet, Foundacion Louis Vuitton), and excellent access to the Metro and RER train system. The is a wonderful pedestrian mall close by, several local cafes. For younger couples it might not have the buzz of the Marais or Canal St Martin, but these areas are easily reached by Metro. The area is extremely safe with spectacular views of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine. Wonderful for walking through the neighborhood, up to Trocadéro or along the Seine.
