This apartment + studio combination worked great for our party of 9 people. We had 5 adults, 1 teen and 3 kids with us for almost 2 weeks. The apartment was in a GREAT location for us. Very close to a metro stop and within walking distance to many attractions (literally across the street from the Louvre). The main street is pretty busy, but we felt very safe and secure within the apartment itself. We made great use of the kitchen and the laundry machine (with kids and travelling, this was A MUST). Would definitely recommend it for a larger group, especially with kids.
