This was a wonderful home base for our family of 4 (kids 7 and 9). We very much enjoyed being out of the tourist fray during our stay in Paris. The flat was intelligently equipped with all the necessities. The bed/linens were high quality and shower delivered a strong and hot stream. My kids especially enjoyed having some toys to play with. It was quite hot during our time in Paris, requiring the windows facing the street to remain open throughout the night. There was noise from the neighborhood cafe until 2 am most nights, but we were able to sleep through it. With the windows closed it was nearly silent inside. The flat is about a 5 min walk to the nearest metro stop and about a 7 minute walk to a great park with a giant playground, my kids enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this flat for families. It would not be recommended for anyone with poor exertional tolerance or mobility issues.
