Perfect location for seeing all of Paris. It was very centrally situated and we felt very safe at all hours. Communication with Caroline was swift and excellent! There were 4 of us and the bed situation was perfect for us ! Each of our sleeping areas had a nice bathroom and shower. The beds were quite comfortable !We never cooked in the apartment but we did make coffee on that wonderful nespresso machine every morning. The sound does carry a little louder in the loft area and the one night we came in earlier we could hear the kids in the above apartment running back and forth until around 11:00. Most of the time we were so tired from our day that we just crashed quickly. I would recommend staying there if you plan on exploring Paris most of the days.
