Great location - loved hearing the bells from the Notre Dame and occasional street musicians on the rue below. In a very touristy area but the street the apartment is on is not swarming with people. Felt safe at all times. The staircase is certainly a climb and would not be suitable for those with mobility issues. The internet, phone and tv were not working when we arrived, but the manager came the next morning and sorted it out. We never worked out how to find a non-subsciption tv channel to watch; luckily Paris kept us engaged. The apartment size was fine for my teenage son and me (one in the bedroom and one on the sofa-bed), but it would be tight for any more than a couple of people. Useful to have a clothes washing machine; the manager showed me how to use it when she visited.
