The AIrBNB tickbox options don't really give the right options! This flat is central and right on a busy boulevard with dozens of great restaurants and cafes so it's happening and hip but it's pretty quiet at night, in terms of sleeping - the child and I didn't go out at night. Shopping is fantastic - the Rue de Rivoli is moments away with every fashion shop on earth and the area is shoe shop central if that's your thing :) There's three metro stations within a 6 minute walk and the number 69 bus leaves from just down the road - it's a normal bus but goes past almost everything you might want to visit - Musee D'Orsay, Louvre, the Seine etc terminating at the Eiffel Tower. Buses to Gare du Nord go along the Boulevard and the metro station to GdN is very short walk away with not many stairs! Every sidestreet and many of the main streets nearby have interesting statues. monuments and buildings and of course beautiful architecture everywhere you look. The Seine is down the end of the street - 10 minute walk, as is Notre Dame, and the Hotel de Ville. The flat itself is very nice, beautifully furnished and very pretty. Please note there is only one toilet - separate from the bathroom. I assumed that meant there would be a toilet in the bathroom as well but there isn't - worked fine with four people but just so you know. Beds are quite comfortable, heating works well, front door lock is currently a bit dodgy but works after a bit of a struggle. The sidestreets on the same side as the flat feature many patisseries, restaurants, coffee shops and a lego shop! On the opposite side there are more unexpected monuments and interesting buildings hidden away but also a number of adult shops, so we stayed on our side in the evenings, although saw nothing untoward. It's a great spot. You'll love it. Joanna was very helpful, came into the office to meet us even though it was Easter Monday.
