The apartment is very close to all amenities, and in an excellent location set back from the main road, so pretty quiet. public transport is excellent. Bus to the louvre on main road, and Bastille metro very close. The apartment is "quirky " but large and clean, beware of the last step downstairs by the toilet, we all missed it, ouch. We were a party of five and there was enough space for us all. Plates and glasses are kept in a high cupboard, so leave out what you need. The apartment has everything you need if you wish to self cater. We had a great time and would recommend.
