The apartment is centrally located and fits the description perfectly. It would work well for a couple wishing to explore the city and main tourist sites. Everything within the city center is within walking distance or can be reached via the nearby Les Halles metro. The neighborhood itself is lively at night, but the street on which the apartment is located is quiet. Thorsten has an effective system down for arrival and departure and responds quickly to any inquiries. The apartment is well-stocked with utensils and appliances. I stayed for six weeks, and never found myself wanting for anything.
