This is a great location for exploring Paris. Literally above (12 stories above) a train, bus, and metro station. We were significantly hobbled by the Paris transit workers' strike, but we managed, and it helped that there were so many options in this location that we could usually find one that was working! And the fallback plan to just walk was also usually available - this apartment is about a 40 minute walk to Notre Dame, for reference. The space is eclectically furnished - truly the owner's home! But you will find everything you need supplied in the kitchen, and there is a washing machine too. Beds were comfy. The views from the windows offer a nearly 360 degree skyline view. Sitting at the dining table watching daylight break and the city come to life with our coffee was a highlight of every morning. We heard daytime construction noises nearby, but nights were very quiet.
