The apartment is in a great location close to a few good Metro stops. There are lots of restaurants close by as well as groceries for cooking. We stayed during the Paris heat wave so it was difficult staying cool, but the apartment does not face the sun, is on the 3rd floor (2nd floor in France), and faces north out of the sun. Phillip went out of his way to make sure we had fans in the apartment for the heat and that made the stay much more comfortable! Would stay there again in a heart beat!
