A modest entrance and stairwell leads to a bright, sunny, comfortable apartment. The kitchen and bathroom are new. The living room gets a bit of noise from nearby restaurants, so if you have someone sleeping in there with the windows open you might want to bring earplugs. It did not bother us. Very centrally located, about five minutes walk to either the Republique or the Arts e Metiers Metro stations. The owner provides excellent communication, and check in was easy. We would be happy to stay here again.
