The location was perfect for the Louvre and short subway train to the Eiffel Tower and many other key tourists sites! And having the luxury of air conditioning and washer/dryer was an added bonus! When we needed a minor repair done, Philippe was there to fix it in a matter of minutes! Also, he took his time to show us many other places to tour. However, if you stay here for more than two weeks like we did, try to pack light because he has a washer/dryer and it is not much fun hauling 50lbs suitcases up and down. To count exactly, each time we hiked up and down it was 88 spiral stair steps. We came home very toned! I would not recommend it to anyone who might have knee issues. But I am a middle aged woman and it was just fine :).
Also, on a side note, pick-pocketing is a big problem so know how to protect your phone and your wallets! On our forth day in Paris, my daughter’s phone got pick-pocketed because she shoved her phone in her short pocket, and we were in the crowded underground subway. It really dampened our trip:(. Also, if you are using a week pass for the Metro Lines, know that a photo must be on the card or you’ll run into a random check point and will be fined 30€ each for not having your photo on your pass. It really stunk because the service person never explained this in detail other than saying to put a photo on the card which for travelers, seemed almost impossible. I found many French people are not eager to bend over backwards for foreign tourists.
