This location cannot be beat. The apartment building is on a quiet, lovely street. But it is just around the corner from bustling, charming cafes, shops, etc. So you have the best of both worlds. I have spent much time in Paris over the past 25 yrs, and in my opinion, this is the prime neighborhood if you are visiting. It is only a block from the river, which means you are central to everything. About the actual apartment: be prepared to climb 5 flights of stairs. Also, the next door neighbor smokes heavily. While the smell is not inside the apartment, one must pass by intense cigarette smell coming and going. Did not bother me as much as it did my boyfriend. Everyone smokes in Paris anyway lol. The apartment has all that you need. It would have been nice to have a couple extra bed pillows, but the bed and its linens, etc were very comfortable. The bathroom was excellent - an actual full-size standing shower in Paris! And the water was quickly hot and plenty of pressure. This is not always the case in Paris, so I appreciated it very much! The place is small - perfect for a couple, especially if you are planning to be out all day seeing the sights, which we were. It is very clean and tidy, not crammed up at all. I will say honestly that I will check availability for this apartment every time I go to Paris and will happily recommend to all my friends.
