The apartment was great. Foremost was location! It was convenient for walking to meals , sights, and activities; also, busses and Metro are very near. The apartment is small but livable for two for awhile. It is great to stand in the windows and watch the hustle and bustle of Parisians and visitors below! Some previous reviews mentioned problems with internet; that must have been resolved--the internet service is reliable and of high quality (we did reboot about once per two weeks). Apartment has two very nice fans that were helpful during this hot summer. Construction in progress across the street could be disturbing to some people; I did not find it bothersome. We like that the cable service included CNN and some other English-language programming (directly or on secondary audio track). We had a very pleasant stay in an excellent location.
