A four-star apartment. I will start with the negative, then focus on the positive. There is a strong stale urine smell in the bathroom that permeates the entire space. The location is great, just steps from the Sentier stop on line 3. A few more steps take you to the wonderful Rue Montorguiel pedestrian shopping street that connects you to Sainte Eustache Church and Les Halle. It is also an easy walk to the Ile de Cite and the Seine. The apartment is on the ground floor opening onto a lovely courtyard. It is very quiet, with a very comfortable bed. It is quite small, but the kitchen is adequate and we did not spend much waking time there. Once the plumbing problem is corrected this will be a five star apartment.
