The location of the flat is outstanding. It is located in the heart of Paris, near an active and interesting area with easy access to the entire city. As a runner, I appreciated being close to the river and the ability to easily jog down to the Seine and join in with other local runners. Although the flat is situated in the heart of an area with an active night life, it is hidden away down a lovely private lane that is cute, clean, and home to small, quiet businesses on the ground floor. One should expect the sounds of city life around in the late evening because the flat is in the heart of the city, but that's hopefully the reason one selects this location in the first place. The flat itself is small, but clean and functional for a wonderful stay in Paris. As a family of 4, we had a great time staying for a week.
