I lived in Paris 25 years ago and really wanted to show my 4 kids the city, especially from the left bank. Although this apartment is a bit small for a family of 6 (you really need 2 bathrooms), it was in the perfect location of Paris. You could not have been closer to the main tourist attractions, excellent restaurants and adequate space without paying 3 times the price at a local hotel. Getting in and out of the apartment was easy (and we actually enjoyed the exercise of running up and down 5 flights of stairs). I would be careful though if you are allergic to cats (which I am), make sure you bring plenty of Reactine (which fortunately I had). If it was just 4 of us, this apartment is ideal. Any more and it is too small unless you are on a limited budget and don't mind tight spaces (and cat hairs)!
