This was a great place for my elderly mother and I to stay in Paris - on the ground floor, a very short walk to the metro, and close to the train station. It's a pretty touristy and loud area, but the apartment itself is quite quiet as it is on a courtyard. There's even a yoga studio next door if you like that kind of thing! Also, both the bed and the pullout couch were very comfortable to sleep in, and it was great to have a washing machine since we were traveling on and needed to clean our clothes.
