This apartment is in a very central location, within walking distance from the Seine, Notre Dame and the Pompidou Centre. It's also very well served for local cafes and restaurants as well as places to shop (for just about everything, including food and groceries). We stayed for 5 nights with our 2 children and it was very comfortable, well equipped as well as clean and secure. It was bright and airy, and we would definitely recommend this as a good place to stay for seeing the sights of Paris - we walked just about everywhere, even although the Etienne Marcel Metro station is only 2 minutes away. Also close by is the Rue Montorgueil which is a food-lover's paradise with it's traditional bakers, butchers, fish shops, fruit shops as well as cafes and restaurants. The apartment is just as it looks in the photos and sleeps a family of 4 very comfortably. Considering that this is right in the centre of the 1st arrondissement, there was very little traffic noise and the background noise from the local cafes and bars was jovial and charming, rather than anything to complain about. We give this a big thumbs up!
