The apartment is in a great location - very close to cafes, shops, restaurants, etc. Just a little farther to Metro and some of the famous sights. Very clean and comfortable, and it worked well for our family of four (kids age 10 and 7) for a few days in Paris. The building is very quiet. Apartment can be a bit stuffy on warmer days, though the fan certainly helped. Nadia warned us about the stairs - not a problem for us, but be aware that they can be tough to navigate with large luggage. Would definitely consider staying here again!
