The apartment is in a great location for all the attractions of Paris. We walked almost everywhere from the apt. The space itself was what we needed after long days of walking, site seeing and shopping - a place above the crowds. The windows opened to let in fresh air and the sounds if the city. The area is quiet enough at night to sleep with the windows wide open to the balcony. Be prepared for a lot of steps up to the top floor. This wasn't a deal breaker but definitely got the blood flowing. Flo made arrival and departure easy, having the keys ready and someone to take us up to the room.
