This apartment made us feel like we were "living" in a fantastic Parisian neighborhood. The apartment itself was cozy (yet spacious) and charming and the neighborhood lively. Everything you needed was right around the corner - great food from both French and non-French restaurants to boulangeries and cheese shops and a grocery store and pharmacy. The area was non-touristy, but very walkable to more touristy areas - Notre Dame being just a 15 to 20 minute walk away. Great place to stay, especially with young kids with all the necessary amenities (washer and dryer, full kitchen). There was also a kids park nearby which was one of the kids' favorite things to do. We plan to visit Paris again and hope to stay here again.
