This flat is probably the best location in Paris for anyone wanting to be in the center of culture, museums, and restaurants. It is about 5-10 minutes walk to the Seine and the Louvre. The area around the flat is filled with wonderful art galleries and shops. A full grocery and bakery are just a few blocks away for shopping for food supplies. The flat is very quiet one floor above street level with basically no street noise when the windows are closed. It is very secure with double locked doors to enter the hallway. The flat has its own washer/dryer, coffee-maker, and a full kitchen and bath. We cooked at home on a regular basis. We could walk to the Seine to watch the sunset and to the Louvre in the evening in just a few minutes to soak up the wonders of Paris. We highly recommend this flat for location, quiet, amenities, and for Valery's helpfulness and cooperation. We stayed for a little over 3 weeks and loved it. If you are looking for a cozy flat right in the center of the wonders of Paris, this is the place for you.
