An absolutely desirable place to stay! Central to eating, drinking or just exploring the streets of Paris. The host is very kind and accommodating. We were able to move easily using the metro being close to Blanche. The apartment was mostly quiet but at times we could certainly hear our neighbors but it wasn’t terrible at all. Just mostly in the mornings/evenings when people move in general. Otherwise, we loved having the windows open for the smells and ambiance of the chattering and laughter. It’s especially sweet hearing children as there is a school nearby.
