Beautiful ambiance to this apartment. Lots of light from three floor to ceiling windows with lovely views. While in the apartment we always had the windows open. with windows closed, the noise of the street could not be heard. Five flights of spiral stairs so you will get your steps in, but its Paris! All the walking means you can indulge in all the french food and patisserie guilt free! Pharmacy, grocery and metro all close by. Many cafes and restos. Great location! Great three days in Paris!
