Location, location, location. This apartment is in a perfect location for exploring Paris--4 minute walk to the Louvre, 2 blocks from the Seine, about 10 doors down from a bakery voted one of the 10 best in Paris, 20 minute walk to the Marais, on a great street with lots of fun stores to explore. The apartment is quiet and clean, and provided plenty of room for our family of 4. It's in an interior courtyard so there is not much natural light coming in, and the unit could use a microwave and a few more wine glasses. But, being able to walk to so many things we wanted to see, and being in a clean and comfortable place, with simple/automated check in, was well worth it to us.
