The place is ideally situated close to bistros, cafes, and the subway. The area felt very safe to walk around and explore. The room is on the bottom floor which was surprisingly very quiet for such a bustling city. The mosquitoes outside are very hungry so be sure to use spray or citronella as available if spending any time on the patio. The building shares an amazing non-profit for women. Therefore, during the week, you may see a lot of strollers at the entrance, but doorman Yannis is very kind and friendly. The apartment has all of the necessities and anything else I needed, I was able to find at a convenience store nearby. I would highly recommend this place if you want to avoid the high tourist areas as you can still easily access everything from subway.
