We had a great weekend here. The apartment is basic but clean with a comfortable bed with cotton sheets and a good strong shower. The building is charming with a rickety staircase and lovely big windows over the street. The location is fabulous though. The street is full of restaurants as well as a left luggage and it's about a ten minute walk to the Pompidou and an easy 20 minutes to the Seine or Le Marais. No tourist crowds but cool and chic Paris.
