We loved this apartment! It was absolutely perfect for our weekend in Paris. It's in a central location so it's walkable to a lot (the Seine, Notre Dame, Luxembourg Gardens, etc) but it also has a few close metro stations. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the five flights of stairs to the apartment are narrow and steep, so I wouldn't recommend anyone with mobility issues stay here. The cafes below are packed during the weekend--definitely a party spot. The noise didn't bother us because it wasn't too loud with the window closed, but if you're a light sleeper I'd suggest ear plugs. Other than that, the apartment is a great find. Clean, spacious, high ceilings, a large bathroom for European standards, and a great view.
