The very best location in Paris, in walking distance to EVERYTHING, and trains easily accessible. The apartment was very comfortable for our family of four. The weather was warm, but the fans made sleeping easier and we were grateful for them. It was also really nice to have a washing machine after weeks of travel. There are three flights of stairs to climb, but we were able to eat more baguettes that way :) There is some street noise but we enjoyed being smack in the middle of the "hustle and bustle" of Paris. Excellent value if you want to feel like a glamorous local in Paris.
