As so many people have mentioned , this is a great place in an excellent location. The area is not full of tacky touristy things, but has a sophisticated, imaginative ambience. I was delighted to discover the Princess tam-tam shop just down the street and made several purchases there - I think my husband was happy that I only went into the shop on the last day! Staff in the shops were were all extremely helpful. We had a few bad experiences in restaurants in more touristy locations in our first three days and ended up, after suffering food poisoning, buying prepared meals from M and S and Picard, just minutes away from the apartment. The Picard things taste a lot better than they look! The restaurant downstairs was really good too, but unfortunately
it was closed for several days. Just across the street, monoprix is excellent too for anything from marrons glacée and fine wine to toilet paper
Stephane was attentive and pleasant. The apartment is well set up, the appliances new and everything in the place was chosen with flair, thought and taste.
There is considerable traffic and street noise, however, but we had little problem sleeping as it did get much more quiet after midnight. It really didn’t bother us at all.
