The place was charming! We appreciated that it was full of books and little artistic touches. With the many windows and high ceilings on the first floor, the home felt light and airy. We adored the courtyard full of plants, and we had plenty of space in the home for our family of four. The area felt safe, and although it was not super close to the historic area of Paris, it was not too far either, which we expected--a great value. The apartment building was not generally noisy (for a city), but someone did have a loud party over the weekend (near Bastille Day). My husband and I could have slept through it, but our children had trouble sleeping that night. Overall, we highly recommend this AirBnb. Our host was accommodating and responsive, and the place is lovely.
