Thomas's apartment was just what we were looking for! Check in/check out were easy. Very comfortable home base, and the location is absolutely superb! We conquered the metro and made good use of the Sentier and Reaumur-Sebastopol stops being so close. We also enjoyed that we could walk to the Louvre and the Seine, and the many restaurants and shops in the vicinity. As others have said, it's a quiet street although things are hopping in the evenings a block or two away (be sure to check out Les Petits Carreaux). We would definitely stay again should we return to Paris (hopefully soon!).
