The apartment is very charming, but small. I would not recommend more than one person staying here. It is up a flight of stairs, so if you have a heavy suitcase, like I did ... be warned! The location is on a sidestreet, very near the Place d'Italie Metro station, which was convenient for getting around Paris. There is a boulangerie at the end of the street, and a chocolate store at the other end ... heaven! I enjoyed my stay but be aware there is no TV - so bring a book if you plan on staying in at night!
