The location of this apartment is unbeatable. It is extremely close to all of the tourist and non tourist attractions. I do not think you could get a better location anywhere at all. I felt like I would able to really live our my Paris dream and loved the windows and the views we got! I felt like I got a true French experience with the boulangerie around the corner, a daycare of french children who never stop laughing nearby and a building that smells like bread constantly. The check-in and check-out process were extremely smooth. We also loved the security of the building given that both of us are young but not once did we feel unsafe. There were a few downsides. The hand shower does not work and when we asked how to use it (maybe being dumb Americans) we did not receive a response from Aude until we left. The six flights of stairs will be difficult if you do not regularly walk 6 flights of stairs. We are both young and fit but still found them to be steep at some points and after a long day for seeing all the sights and eating all the yummy food Paris has to offer, 6 flights does not feel very vaction-y. If you have any large bags it is very hard to carry them up and down since the stairs are narrow and steep. There is a small courtyard you enter before going to the room and it always smells of pee and was shocking to us when we entered inside.
