I've been staying in many different places over the years in Paris, and I can say without a doubt that this is the best location for access to great streets for eating, shopping, cafes and wandering around, as well as most must-see sites. It's also the quietest I have found, set back in a courtyard with no street noise and a sanctuary to eat or relax in after the busy city life. Walking distance to the twice-weekly market near Bastille, or several small health food stores within a block, you can easily bring home food and cook it in the great kitchen, and eat at the beautiful table or in the courtyard. This will be our go-to place on future visits!
