Ideal. Seriously! The metro is across the street and from there you can go anywhere in the city! Bakeries near by for breakfast, restaurants everywhere. The flat itself was perfect for us two (girls). It was very clean and cozy. It's on the 3rd floor which gives an amazing view of the street. There is a lift inside but it's very small, just take the stairs it's really not that hard. It's a busy street/intersection so if you prefer quiet just shut the balcony door. There is a post office near by. And honestly we have no complaints! When I go back to Paris I would love to stay here again!
