Fabulous location, easy walking distance to the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Tuilleries Gardens (out front), chic shopping district, the Metro, Left Bank, etc. The apartment is quite comfortable, furnished in some areas with beautiful antiques. The washer and drier were wonderful amenities to have on hand. The street noise from the Rue de Rivoli was not insignificant despite the double paned windows, especially our first night, a Saturday. Loud voices and people walking below could be heard until 4am. Things seems to quiet down later in the week. The apartment was stifling hot when our friends arrived first, but they were able to have someone come to turn down the radiator. Nevertheless, it was a couple of days and some open windows (during Têmpeste Ciara) before it was more comfortable. The biggest inconvenience was lack of space to unpack clothing. The wardrobes were tiny with only a couple of shelves and not certainly not enough space for two people. Having said all this, it is a great place for four people to stay in the heart of Paris.
