Loved the place. Right next to the park beneath Eiffel Tower. Can see the upper sections of the tower from the window. Wonderful restaurants all around... downstairs, across the street, around the corner. Pastry shops, butcher shops, pharmacies and a grocery store all on the block. A few major bus lines pass by. The airport busses from CDG are only a five minute walk away. Completely safe neighborhood (except of course be careful up right at the Eiffel Tower for pickpockets). My children are 11 and 9, and they loved it. The apartment for the most part kept cool in August when we were there. At night needed the windows open for a cool breeze. The city stays active quite late, so is a little noisy until well after midnight, but enjoyed the background banter. Saturday night on the other hand was a full on party until 3am. Wasn't too bad though, we had ice cream downstairs at midnight. Was sooo nice to be able to run over to the park to watch the Eiffel Tower twinkle at 9, 10, and 11pm. Lovely little apartment, perfect location, and the hosts and greeters were friendly and prompt.
