A very convenient location get anywhere in Paris by Metro or bus, and to travel north or to England by train from the Gare du Nord. Lil made sure we had everything we needed in the apartment when we arrived, even a bottle of wine in the fridge. Though there was no television, we didn't come to Paris to watch television, so it was not an issue. Paris was in the midst of a record heat wave when we arrived, and Lil brought us a fan which helped to keep us cool at night. The bedroom looks out on an interior courtyard, so it is quiet, and the bed is comfortable. For a quick meal nearby, the restaurant across the street has very good pizza. I recommend Lil's apartment. It's not fancy, but it is very functional to use as a base to explore Paris. Lil can even recommend a private guide to give you a personalized tour of the city, if you want.
