The location of this appartment is excellent. you can walk to most of the major sites and there are also a few metro stations within a 5 to 10 minute walk. We also loved the neighborhood. It did not seem very touristy so you really got an idea of what it's like to be a local. there are a couple of squares right near the appartment with lots of great local restaurants all reasonably priced. the Bakery across the street had awesome bread, croissants and pastries.
