Great location for those who want to be close to the sites, but not in the tourist zone. We wanted a place like this, where you can feel more like a resident. From the apartment, we walked to Canal Saint-Martin one day, and to the Left Bank on the other. The apartment is small, but it is what is to be expected in Paris. Thankfully, it also had a small elevator. Gregory was not able to meet us, but arranged for his friend to greet us. All was easy for checking in and out.
