We had a great stay in Amir's apartment. The location was very convenient - an easy walk to many sights and to a number of metro stations. It was lovely to be by the Seine and the Arsenal. The area itself was residential with only a few cafes/restaurants. But it was an easy walk to busier areas. The apartment was a good size for three of us (2 adults and an infant). Although there was quite a bit of traffic noise from the street, this was easily blocked by closing the windows. The bed was queen size and very comfy.
