The apartment is an historical treasure and, at the same time, comfortable and cozy. The furniture is comfortable, especially the beds. We had a family reunion and everyone loved how well the apartment and its location worked. From the living room windows, one can see the courtyard, enhancing a sense of privacy. Among the amenities, all helpful, we appreciated the elevator, especially when lugging suitcases. From the "grand boulevard" on which the apartment is located , we enjoyed easy walks of 20 minutes or so to many sites: the Opera, the Galleries Lafayette and Au Printemps department stores, the Centre Pompidou modern art museum, the Marais, and outstanding book stores. Getting around Paris from the boulevard, by metro, bus and also taxi is not complicated. By the end of our 4 weeks, we felt we belonged in the neighborhood. Alexandre was a very helpful manager, easy to contact, and when needed at the apartment, he was there ASAP.
