Location is great. It is not in the middle of tourist areas but is very near. The apartment is about a ten minute walk from Place des Voyges. The nearest (3 minutes) metro stop is number 8 at San Sebastian Froissaart (sp). It takes you to many of the museums and sights. Other nearby metro is Oberkampf (line 9) that take you to other great spots. You can walk to Pere La Chaise, the Bastille and Republic and all around the tourist west side of the Marais--Francs Bourgois is a very busy and cool walking/shopping street. Grocery store on same street as the apartment is a 5 minute walk. We got to know the wait staff of our favorite sidewalk cafe (Italian Style Cafe) and felt like we had friends in the neighborhood. The apartment is clean, tidy, modern and stylish. It would not be easy to get in and out of the tub so we didn't try. Shower was great. A grab bar or grip would be helpful. Every evening we sat on the terrace and expressed our good fortune in finding this place. We want to return.
