The apartment was very comfortable for my 2 grown daughters and I on our first trip to Paris. It is a wonderful neighborhood with good restaurants and cafes. It is about a 20 minute walk to the Louve and we took the Batobus to get to all the sights. The shower is a bit small, but for the weekend, was definitely manageable. Having the washer/dryer at the end of our trip to different European cities was amazing! If you wake up early to take a walk, the entire neighborhood smells like baking croissants! I highly recommend staying a Lionel’s place!!
