This apartment is great for a first timer in Paris or for someone who wants to be in the center of things. The apartment IS quiet; however it's a very touristy neighborhood which is clearly beneficial for some. Be prepared to walk up narrow steps to the elevator. As in most apartments, the elevators basically fit 2 people, or 1 person and his/her suitcase. But it always worked!
The bedroom is small and bed is too large which meant I had to climb over my husband to get to the bathroom during the night. However, the bed was comfortable, linens were very nice and there were extra towels in the closet. We were there for 4 nights so it was nice to switch out towels. The sink is small and the tiny shelf above it makes it difficult but such is Paris. Whenever we had a problem with something (clothes washer; shower hose), the apt manager was easy to text and she was very responsive. She also came over quickly to make things right. Kitchen is quite adequate. "Living room" furniture is fine, although the couch could be updated. There's a table with 2-3 chairs and plenty of outlets to charge everything. Wifi was great. Best we've seen in a while. Lots of hanging closet space including some drawer space. Just check location. If you like lots of hustle-bustle at your doorstep, this is great - near the Shakespeare Bookstore but if you'd prefer a quieter, residential area, look a bit further away from the river into the 5th or 6th.
