Staying in the 2nd Arrondissment, Montorgueil area where there was shopping, restaurants and a short walk to the subway/train (Sentier & Châtelet Les Halles) was amazing! Not sure I could've chosen a better location for my first trip to Paris. The flat was very nice and Anais is a great host! There is so much close by and Starbucks is literally under the flat. You can get so much done on the little strip or walk to the train across the street to get to the attractions.
