This is a cosy apartment for 2 people and even with 1 or 2 smaller kids. We were able to walk or take the tram which is a block away. The a/c was a godsend when the temp reached 90 degrees! It was nice to be met by someone when we checked in who could show us around that apartment. There are restaurants and grocery nearby. This a second floor walk up with no elevator and the stairs are narrow as it is in almost all of France. The balcony is small but lovey in the morning for coffee. The surrounding neighborhood quiets down around 10pm and the apartment is quiet with the windows closed and the bedroom is even quieter because it is on the back.
