We thought that the location was wonderful. Close to all the best fresh markets and many supermarkets. We like to walk, and we could walk to the Eiffel Tower, The Arc de Triumph, Place de Concorde, Place Vendome, The Opera, The great department stores and also to the left bank, but we like to walk so that may be a consideration. It was never a problem to get an Uber to the door. If you are looking for ultra modern, this won't suit you. It's furnished with antiques and lovely art. The kitchen, though old, is very well equipped and since I love to cook, I was able to prepare everything that was available around the corner. It has the rare combination of separate dish washer, clothes washing machine and a separate clothes dryer; all in the kitchen. The elevator is large enough for two people and a couple of suitcases. The apartment is large, with plenty of room to keep suitcases out of sight; a dining room that seats 10 people and two bathrooms (only one water closet in the hallway). It's a great apartment in a great neighborhood.
