This apartment was perfect. Our family of 5 easily fit and the location was so close to everything. We could walk to the Luxembourg Gardens and all of the shopping in the 5th and 6th. Be prepared to walk up stairs, there isn't an elevator. This was not a problem for us and it was expected. We enjoyed looking down the street at the shops and the towers of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris while drinking our morning coffee and eating breakfast before heading out to explore.
