We felt like locals from the second we walked off the metro and up the steps to find ourselves right at the entrance of the building. We enjoyed the neighborhood and the ability to walk to restaurants and shops. Melissa provided great recommendations for restaurants, bakeries, shops, etc. The views were even better than we had anticipated. We were able to see the Eiffel Tower sparkling at night through the spires of the Notre Dame---it was magical. The space was clean, welcoming, well stocked and comfortable, it was so nice to be able to feel "at home" while traveling. Highly recommend.
