It is a great place to land in Paris. Without any effort, you can feel part of the historic landscape and chic central Paris scene. It is fairly touristy but that is what central Paris is like in general. The crepe place downstairs is excellent. My 7 year old daughter was upset about the Galapagos turtles on the wall in the hallway. There is something about the French and taxodermy that I am trying to understand! The apt is very cute and clean. Bring something to mask the stale beer smell from downstairs pub. We couldn't get the TV to work, but that could be user error too.
