The location is perfect!!! There are two Metro stations within minutes walk from the flat. But walking to some of the major sites is not out of the question. We walked from Notre Dame to the flat and it was a wonderful walk to see all the shops. I’d also suggest seeing the neighborhood next to the flat called Oberkampf. It had a lot of restaurants and bars that had a nice vibe to them. The view from the flat is amazing. Almost every night we would sit at the dining table and watch the Eiffel Tower light up!! So romantic!!! Our 18yr old daughter slept in the mezzanine area and she said it was perfect for her. Just a reminder to some people this is Jean François flat that he lives in. His personal belongings are there but they are not obtrusive. He has a closet in the main bedroom that he has cleaned out for your belongings. Just be aware and be respectful of his things.
