Great location less than 5 minutes from the St Paul metro which is a great line for many attractions such as Louvre, Tuilleries, Concorde, Arc de' T. Supermarket within 3 mins along with bakery, wine shop etc. Great wraparound balcony (not so deep, about 1-2 feet) allowing views of historic churches, Rue St Antoinne etc. 5th floor apartment so the use of a lift is a bonus (when working - not for first half of the stay). Apartment felt very safe with 2 security doors at ground level. Occasional traffic noise but not excessive at all. We can see ourselves returning.
