Harold's place is in an excellent location and is a short walk to the Seine and most of the major attractions are within a few mile radius and many closer than that. Bakeries, cafes and grocery stores are also very convenient. As most others have said, the location behind the buildings requiring a walk over an elevated bridge and up several flights of narrow winding steps could be an issue for those traveling with heavy luggage and/or elder/child guests. Unfortunately the outside of the building was having repairs done to it and the hammering, electrical saws and falling debris outside our walls and windows started every morning at 8:30 am, making it a little difficult to enter and exit as dirty water and debris was coming down by the entry door and debris littered the pathway. The unique layout of the apartment added to its charm, however attention to details such as providing adequate quantities of basic amenities and cleanliness would enhance the overall experience.
