This apartment is a 30 min walk to the sight seeing areas with the Louvre being the closest to reach by foot. We enjoyed the walk and chose to do that rather than take the metro which is a 5 more n walk away. Lots of shops and restaurants in a culturally diverse area. The area is a bit down at heel but definitely colorful if you want such a Paris experience. The apartment was easy to access and Julie was always in touch or had her maid in touch to make our entry easy. We absolutely needed to have a working phone to get into the building though at the start so if you don't have one you'll need to figure out a different option. The apartment was nice and easy, with 2 double beds, a modern bathroom and decent kitchen. Shops all over the place as well as restaurants, so it's a very easy place to cater or go out. It fitted our needs as a family of 4 with 2 children over 10.
