The location is perfect! We were able to walk to most places including the Opera, Louvre, St Honoré, Museé d'Orssay, Le Samaritaine, just to name a few. We also loved being close to the Japanese restaurants and Korean supermarket. There is a secret door(?) that leads you to the big street without having to walk around the building. I think they are only open during the daytime. The shortcut through the garden was also very handy. The view from the apartment is really beautiful!
