This is simply a fantastic apartment in a perfect location. It's close walking distance to Les Halles and the Louvre (right down the street) and an easy walk to the nearby public gardens, plus a longer, but still walking distance to the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Latin Quarter, Notre Dame, Gard du Nord and much more. Very close to a dense area of bistros and food shops on Rue Montorgueil. This is a magical and extremely convenient location -- the more we saw of Paris, the happier we were with this choice. The apartment itself is spacious and the large windows open to create a wonderful breeze. We used the washer/dryer and it worked flawlessly -- about 5 hours for the entire cycle. It's a small kitchen but it has everything you need to create small meals or snacks of the fantastic fruit, bread, pastries and wine that are literally steps from the front door. But why would you bother making your own when all of Paris is out there waiting for you?
