The location and charm of the apt is wonderful! The 2nd arrondissment is where it's at, it's hip and cool, minimal tourists, great restaurants throughout and so close to the apt, lots of high end shopping and close to a few metro stops. We could get around all of Paris so easily. We felt safe in the apt, secured access. The apt has a spacious living area and a modern bathroom which is nice for Europe. If you want to have a quiet day in, it is hit or miss. Some days the street right outside is very busy and clearly audible from inside.
Even having said that, we would gladly return!
