The location is perfect- no more than 10 minutes walk to the major sites of Paris. The street itself is quiet. A few steps to many cafes, shops, bars, coffee shops, supermarkets and such. Lots of choice on the street or around the corner. Great French boulangerie/patisserie near by. Luckily for us there is also an organic supermarket so we could buy tofu and soy milk and other non-dairy and vegan products that are a bit hard to find in Paris.
