this is a wonderful apartment in the center of paris- easy walking distance to both more touristy attractions and the chelsea-like marais district full of great cafes and trendy shopping. we stayed here with two families with kids and had a wonderful time and would most definitely stay here again. just as an fyi, the bathroom layout bears mentioning just because it is quirky: one bathroom with just a toilet, one with a toilet, bath and two sinks and another with just a shower and sink. as long as you are friendly with the folks you are sharing the apartment with it is just fine! the little patio is absolutely charming and the place is also.
