Sara's apartment was a great experience & our first exposure to Paris. I couldn't recommend it more based on location alone. The proximity to the metro, 5 mins to the canals, restaurants, several grocery stores...not to mention the delicious patisserie almost immediately below. The apartment was plenty of space for my husband & I- especially for Paris- though as others mentioned it is on the 5th floor (which we loved for quiet & security) without an elevator so keep this in mind if you have luggage.
