The location of this place is amazing. It puts you just a city block from the Seine, and within waking distance of Notre Dame, the Louvre, and many other places. The apartment was great. It can be loud at night with the cafes outside, so bring earplugs and you should be fine. One night the bathroom smelled heavily of cigarette smoke from someone else in the building smoking and it coming through the vents. Other than that, our accomodations were fabulous for our stay in Paris.
