We were two families with teens (2 parents + 2 kids each) and this was a good base for us. Bus lines get you close to everything. Kids got to see what a Paris apartment is like. We used the top apartment for crowded but doable cooked dinners together. The bottom apt is smaller and was a tight fit for four of us. We were there on one of the hottest days but it stayed cool enough w/o AC. But a great value for a group in Paris and I would stay here again.
