Some say location doesn't matter as much in large cities given easy access to anywhere via public transportation. Not so. Whether you stay a few days or a few weeks or more, you tend to linger around "your" neighborhood, frequenting some of the same boulangeries, restaurants, etc. This apartment is in a fantastic location on a lively pedestrian street. Nice cafes/bistros, great boulangerie <1 min down the street, and so on. I suppose street noise from restaurants and bars on the street below could be an issue on hot nights when windows need to stay open, but we didn't have any problem with noise (and we have two kids). Great apartment -- surprisingly spacious studio (if you've stayed in Paris before you're probably used to smaller studio apartments for this price). We would absolutely choose this apartment again.
