The description of Yve’s apartment is very accurate. It is on a busy street but as it faces a light well, it is very quiet and also very secure. The only downside is that there is not much natural light which should not be a problem as you will be out seeing the city during the day. The apartment is very clean and the appliances are new and easy to operate. Yves left a complete set of instructions for the appliances as well as suggestions for nearby restaurants and a boulangerie, etc. The kitchen is organized for practicality and there are sufficient dishes and silverware, etc. to prepare breakfast or a small meal. The metro Bastille is very nearby and the Place des Vosges and the shops and boutiques of the Marais are also very close by which you can access from the Hotel de Sully at No. 62, not more than 100 meters away.
