The apartment was very central. It was within walking distance of two metro stations, less than 2 minute walk to the Rue Montergeuil which has many cafes/restaraunts/markets and a further short 10 minute walk to Place Des Halles which is a large high street shopping mall. The main tourist sites are within 45-90 minute walking distance. We did not use the metro all weekend but walked to Louvre/Champs Elysees/Arc De Triomphe/Eiffel Tour/Montemarte Town - It was a lot of walking in one day but possible with good footwear and energy! As mentioned, it's also possible to take metro which is 5 minute walk and 3/4 stops to Champs Elysees (Franklin Roosevelt) station.
