The space is well laid out. We left the sofa made into a bed the entire time and had plenty of space to walk around the living area. The shower is spacious and the kitchen nicely efficient. We walked to many places including Musee du Louvre, Notre Dame, l'Orangerie plus other notable places. The metro stations are close by. Pierre showed us how to read the metro map and encouraged us to go through Chatelet which we did. We found out later that some people call Chatelet "the Beast". We are glad we had the experience... seems like it is rated the largest metro station in the world!!
The neighborhood is safe and quiet with many grocery stores in walking distance We are happy for our stay!
