Fine apartment for anyone wishing to stay in the Melinmentont/Jourdain area. Quick access to the 26 and 96 bus lines; 5 minute walk from Jourdain metro stop. The area around the apartment is very lively with lots of dining options and cafes as well as grocery stores, boulangeries, take-outs and other businesses serving the area. If you're inclined to do so, the area is great fun to explore on foot. The apartment is a typical unit in an older building. Small bathroom and kitchen, but perfectly adequate for 1 or 2 persons. All the kitchen appliances, utensils one needs. Bedroom faces the street, but has effective double pane windows. KItchen and eating area windows face an inner courtyard, so some ventilation is possible when the bedroom window is closed. Bed is large and comfortable - I like firm beds. Dining table is ok for two. The apartment is on the third floor (American) second floor (French) and there is no elevator. Nevertheless, we (two 70+ year olds) had no problem coming or going and getting our luggage up and down the stairs. Overall a good base of operations for a week in the 20th with visits to other parts of Paris.
