I was in this apartment for two years, and I loved it so much. Though the space was definitely small, it was a great lesson in working with what space I had in order to make it my own. It had everything a young person in Paris could need: a kitchen, a washing machine (which I felt was a HUGE plus and saved me so much time and money), an in-unit bathroom, a cozy little bed, and a lovely view. It was perfectly located from the metro and buses, and I felt so safe and comfortable having such easy access from public transit to the apartment as a woman. The building itself, as well as the courtyard, was spectacular, and I loved having the opportunity to live in a real Hausmannien apartment. I worked in a school and as a nanny while I was in Paris, so the noise of the school next door did not personally bother me too much, and it was only loud from about 10-10h30 and then from 11h30-13h30. The neighborhood was also ideal - I loved getting to know my neighbors, as well as exploring the quartier and going to all of the shops and restaurants that were right close by. This is an apartment I will truly miss for the rest of my life, and I would recommend it to anyone. - Elizabeth K.
