The location is great if you would like a break from the heavy touristy areas. The down side is none of the tourist sites are really walkable. But it IS very close to metro and bus stops, which is great. The apartment is also located close to many bakeries, restaurants, and grocery stores. I don't speak French so it was so helpful to be able to walk into a Boulangerie and just point at what I wanted. I said "merci" a lot though. :)
The apartment and neighborhood also felt safe.
The appliances are nice. The dishwasher and washer/dryer are higher end and were easy to use. I would recommend hooks near the entry and the bathroom to allow for more hanging space.
Thank you so much for the long shoehorn. I didn't know that I needed it!
We enjoyed our stay.
