This is a great apartment in a great location. Although central, the neighborhood and neighbors are quiet. I was looking to stay within walking distance of friends and this fit the bill. The Rambuteau subway station as well as a taxi stand are right outside the apartment so it's easy to get wherever you need to go. There are also plenty of grocery stores nearby including an organic/bio one with specialty items for those of us with food allergies. The Anne Frank park is right around corner for anyone craving a little green space within the city. The Seine is also not far (about a 5min walk) and good for getting in a morning run. I recommend running to the Eiffel Tower--you'll pass by many of the major tourist destinations along the way. Etienne himself was warm and welcoming--he picked me up from the airport and then carried my suitcase up five flights of stairs. Impressive! He was also flexible with my check-in and check-out times as I had late flights in and out of the city.
