The location is great on a quiet little street but with bars, bakery, restaurants and market all within a few blocks. Plus the Seine River is a few blocks away. Metro and trains are 10 minutes away. We were there during very hot time but there was a fan and the flat stayed comfortable nonetheless. Clothes washer is a nice plus and the value for a large flat compared to Paris hotels is unbeatable. The bar on the corner is great. This was a great beginning to a 3 week French vacation
