We had a great experience here. We stayed with our 6 young children. There is not an elevator, but we did not feel like we needed it because the apartment was on a lower floor. We easily walked from this apartment to all of the major Paris attractions. It is near several restaurants, shops, bakeries, stores, etc. Compared to other places we have stayed in Paris, this had the least tourists - it was mostly locals in and around this neighborhood and we rarely heard a language other than French being spoken.
