This apartment was perfect for our family of three. It was well equipped with everything we could have needed (kitchen essentials, coffee maker, hair dryer, etc.) and is nicely situated in Paris. It's close to the Marais, the Pompidou, the Picasso Museum, La Musee de la Chasse et Nature, great restaurants and bakeries. It is close to public transportation, although we walked everywhere. I would highly recommend this apartment. The apartment is on a generally very quiet little street although there is some noise from the bar on the weekend nights, as others have mentioned -- not a big deal unless you are a very light sleeper. The apartment is exactly as the photos depict -- charming and well decorated.
