Marie was a very accommodating host, letting us leave our luggage before the check in time and allowing us to check out late. The apartment is in a great location; quick walk to Place de la Republique, great little bakery on the corner to get our daily croissants, pain au chocolate and baguettes! We walked to all the main tourist sites from the apartment. It was a lot of walking, but if a family with 2 grandparents (late 70's) and 2 kids (9,11) could walk it all I'm sure most people can do it. Only thing to keep in mind is that there's quite a few steps in the apartment, even little steps in the bathroom and at the front door when you enter the apartment, so not good for anyone prone to tripping or unsteady on their feet. It was a great little apartment, clean, good location, and as mentioned in most of the other reviews "cosy" (aka small), but that's what you can expect for such a location. Would recommend this as a place to stay.
