The apartment is a good size place compared to what you could expect from a hotel, well designed and with a feeling of freshness. Perfect for a family of 4. Located in the heart of the 1st district of Paris, you are close not only to great shopping if that is your aim, but also to many other wonderful neightborhoods of Paris. The gardens of Tuileries with the adjacent Louvre are just around the block, it is an easy walk accross the Seine to the amazing Saint Germain, a healthy walk to le Marais, the Eiffel tower or even the Montmartre. We hardly had to use the subway. Despite its central location, the streets did not feel overly crowded or too touristy at least now at the end of October and there is still a sense of neighborhood preserved. There are many dining options within an easy distance covering various price ranges, from which we would certainly recommend at least the L'Ardoise on the same block, simply amazing, a good number of bakeries and some Monoprix for the basics. The access was easy and the management quick to address any questions or comments. Would stay again.
