The apartment is spacious, well appointed, and very centrally located. In addition to being walking distance to the Louvre, Boulevard Saint-Germain, and the Chatelet metro stop, it is also convenient to two Velib stations (i.e. CitiBike, but in Paris). I had a wonderful visit and Mathilde was a great hostess. I got excellent restaurant recommendations. And when I came down with a fever late on a friday evening, she responded right away to an e-mail query as to whether or not there was advil in the apartment (there wasn't any, but Mathilde did have the French equivalent to Tylenol, which worked just as well at getting me through the night). I would recommend the apartment without reservation. It is a walkup though, so if stairs are a problem for you, then, keep that in mind. Fortunately, they aren't for me and I had a blast.
