If you can get this place, do it! The location is fantastic for access all over the city since you literally have the metro right outside your door! Also, walking is so nice in Paris, so if you like to stretch your legs, you aren't too far from some great places (Le Marais, Notre Dame, etc) The area is safe and does not feel overrun by tourists. We felt like we got a more "local Parisian" experience! There are great restaurants around, but if you are on a budget then go across the street to Monoprix or Mark & Spencers! We ate M & S a few times and it was delicious and so cheap! As far as the inside of the apartment, it is clean, spacious, and a great value for 2-4 people. The bed is comfortable and large enough for 2. The sofa can fit 1 nicely or possibly 2 if you are small (children). I'll put it this way, when we come back to Paris, we are staying here!
