The flat's location is perfect - on the best (and pedestrianized) street in Paris - full of wine stores, greengrocers, cheese mongers, butchers and lots and lots of cafes and restaurants. Presuming you're a walke, it's a reasonable walking distance to Notre Dame, Musee d'Orsay, Opera Garnier, the Louve and much more. It's also very close to three metro stations and the RER. Very safe neighborhood day and night. English is widely spoken in the neighborhood and staff and waiters are polite and friendly - so long as you are. The flat itself is just fine with a big main room so it doesn't feel crowded. Excellent shower and good internet connection and speed. Everything in the flat that is supposed to work actually does so. (The light switch for the kitchen lights is behind the microwave - took me a minute to find it.) If you travel with huge suitcases, the stairs might be a problem - but that would be true anywhere in Paris. Sebastien met us right on time and makes himself available if you have any problems or questions.
