The location of the apartment was great. We could walk to so many of the places we visited. And all the metro, RER and bus stops were literally just out the door. Three minutes up the street is a lift right down to the train to the airport which made it so easy to get there with suitcases. Christian was easy to communicate with and check in instructions sent were very easy to follow. The street out front is very busy but as others have noted we had no noise inside. The view out the windows is described as being over a courtyard but to us it felt more like an alley, so no view. But at night we would light all the candles Christian has around the apartment and it felt very cozy and romantic!
