Security of the apartment is excellent and matched by the ease of the nearly private entry. The small lift is efficient and opens just across hall from apartment front door. A three minute stroll in either direction gets you to the metro. Closer than the metro are several good restaurants and bakeries. Bistro Paul Bert reviewed as the best in Paris is right around the corner. Reservations are needed but not difficult with minimal notice. The apartment is roomy especially by Paris standards, the two bedrooms are comfortable, and the two bathrooms have been nicely updated. Need to be aware there is only one toilet for the apartment. We were able to cook in the large kitchen comfortably. All in all I would definitely recommend this apartment for a wonderful taste of Paris living.
