The apartment location is terrific, in the middle of the lively and historic Marais district. The metro is literally steps away, and so are several bus lines. We counted at least four grocery stores close bye, and a starbucks within a few feet. The first day we reached the Notre Dame via a short scenic walk. Other points of interest, such as the Louvre and Place the La Concorde are a few short metro stops away.
Note that this being Paris, the street scene is a bit noisy. Paris seems to have emergencies that require blaring sirens several times an hour. Also typical for Paris, the apartment is in a very old historic building. Part of the Parisian experience was to experience the winding staircase to the third floor and the additional character an old building adds. It wouldn't be Paris without it.
The small kitchen is very modern and all appliances seemed brand new.
