Great location for visiting museums and shopping. This small apartment worked out perfectly for us on our recent trip to Paris. It was impeccably clean and had everything we needed. The elevator takes you to the floor below the apartment and there's a small spiral staircase up. It was fine for us (late 50s) because we pack pretty light with a roller bag but might not be the best for someone who cannot take up their bag. Bed was nice and firm and slept well. Hotplate is old and requires some finesse but we made it work for eggs in the morning and some pasta in the evening. Nice view of the Opera House and very quiet for the middle of the city. Nearby hotels were 4X what we paid so this was a great value.
