For a family of 5 (kids 7 10 and 12), this location worked out great for us. Markets right downstairs, 5 minutes to the metro, cafes/bakeries all around yet a nice quiet street to go home to at night and relax after touring. There were a couple of plumbing issues that the host got fixed as fast he could so no issues there. Overall we had a great time showing our kids Paris and this was a great base for us.
