The apartment is in a really fun part of town. There are restaurants everywhere and it's a quick walk to Montmartre for a fabulous view of Paris. The entrance to the apartment has a lovely courtyard where people hang out and play games and cats abound. It gives it a nice atmosphere. Just be clear-this is a small, bare-bones apartment. There isn't even a shelf for toiletries in the bathroom, and the shower is tiny, but it all works, and if you're only spending minimal time there, it's perfect.
