The Sweet Inn representatives communicated quickly and regularly during the booking process and leading up to our stay. We elected to go to the Sweet Inn office to do our check-in, which was easy to find and well located not far from the Louvre. The apartment was exactly as described in the listing. It was clean and modern. The only thing missing was a corkscrew! The apartment location is absolutely perfect from our perspective! Very close to one metro entrance, and a short walk to the Les Halles station which has many many many train and metro lines running through it. The area is filled with restaurants, bars and stores. It is very lively, late into the night. The apartment is one floor above ground, so you can definitely hear the street noises - people in the evenings/nights, and trucks in the mornings. The noise didn't bother us at all, and we enjoyed looking out our windows at the crowds of people in the area. If the noise is a concern, closing the windows blocks most of it. Note that there is no a/c, so depending on the weather, you might want the windows open for the breeze. We would definitely recommend this apartment and would stay there again next time we visit Paris!
