We planned to not be in our room for long and the apartment worked great for this. It's small but typical of Paris rooms and comfortable for the stay. The apartment is in an area thriving with restaurants and shops, a 20-30 minute walk to major sights like Notre Dame. It's close to the metro and Sandy is very willing to help you determine best routes or places to visit. It was also helpful that she spoke fluent English to give advice. This place isn't for you if you cannot climb 4 flights of stairs as it is a fourth floor apartment. Overall, a great value for a full Paris experience!
