The area of this apartment is in walking distance to the main attractions in the city (Notre Dame, Louve, etc) as well as the metro. My friend and I loved being able to walk from the apartment to the main areas with ease. We felt like we were actually living in the city and not just visiting as tourists because of the location. The only issue we had was check in when the service used to provide the keys almost didn't meet us because our flight was delayed 2.5 hours after the scheduled landing. But it was resolved and we were able to meet the sitter to get the keys. I do highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a great Paris experience.
