We were a group of four so really appreciated the separate bedrooms. The apartment was well equipped with plenty of hot water. The locality was superb. Easy walking distance to everything because the Metro was right there with Gare Lyon close by. We really enjoyed the abundance of eating places and watching the locals going about their daily life.....not lots of tourists. Was very conscious that the French people do not appreciate loudness. Thank you Ana Maria for tip. Everyone was very gracious and helpful. We all thoroughly recommend Ana Maria's apartment for a wonderful Parisian base. Kind Regards Heather
