Two great things: Air conditioning and location. If you travel to Paris in the summer, renting a place without AC is risky, and as luck would have it, we were there during a heat wave. The central AC is pretty great (albeit separate controls in one room for another zone - and one room without separate control does not seem to get as cool). Secondly, the location is prefect, particularly if you have young kids. Right across the street is Luxembourg Gardens which is a beautiful park for anyone to see, and has a great little kid play area, a very neat old merry-go-round. Overall, a great apartment from which to visit Paris. Also note that albeit I never met Alexis or anyone from that apartment management company, all responses were super quick and everything worked as promised.
