Without knowing Paris well, the location turned out to be fabulous - great restaurants, very close to the metro and walking distance to Pompidou Centre and a little longer walk to Norte Dame. The air conditioning was excellent (including loft), the apartment was very quiet and the modern decor was appreciated. Great for a family of five! Keep in mind bathing towels and linens are provided but you should bring a bar of soap and your own shampoo. Highly recommend.
