This apartment is well laid out and is on a lively road full of restaurants, take out shops, bakeries, grocery stores, etc. Food in the area was terrific. Despite this, the apartment is inside the block, and you go through 2 courtyards to reach it, meaning it was beautifully quiet despite the activity on the street. The apartment was also on the 2nd floor and felt very secure - we had no concerns leaving our valuables. Microwave and mini fridge were perfect to have breakfast or snacks, and the windows looked out onto the lovely quiet courtyard. It also was quite cool despite the high temperature in paris when we were there. 10 to 15 min walk to eiffel tower or the seine - location was spectacular.
