Mao’s place is about as central as you can get in Paris. We just loved sitting by the window drinking a glass of wine, or two, and looking at Notre Dame! The apartment is a studio on the top of the building with no elevator, but it was surprisingly easy to walk up. We stayed with our son (3 people) which was fine as long as you are happy all being in the same room. Being in the center of town had many advantages and including safety at night as there is always someone around so it is easy to go out. If you have a chance we would definitely recommend this AirBnB!
