Wonderful location--Recommend breakfast at nearby Marlette (great scrambled eggs & salmon) and plenty of restaurants near Le Carreau du Temple (old marketplace). For an informal meal, when you don't want to walk far---try La Briciola for great pizza! There's a Franprix on Rue de Bretane to pick up groceries. The apartment is comfortable though tight for two, quiet as it is in the back of the building. Easy luggage drop off at the Nannybag because we arrived early. But had a little difficulty getting into the keybox at the laundromat, had to text keycafe to get help. Fortunately, finally worked and we were able to get into the apartment a few hours earlier than we expected. Shower is a little tricky to operate: left handle is temperature and right handle is water flow!
