The studio is located in easy walking distance to Cafés and restaurants, a major Métro station (Hôtel de Ville), Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle, Centre Pompidou - you can get to pretty much everywhere walking or with a few Métro stops.
The area is great - lots of opportunity to eat, drink and shop in a diverse neighborhood.
The apartment's street is fairly quiet - not a thoroughfare, mainly small shops and restaurants. Good boulangeries for your morning croissants and baguettes are close by (we get our baked goods from Boulangerie Heurtier at 2 Rue de la Verrerie, another good one is located at the end of the street at 32 Rue Vieille de Temple).
Despite being very central, the street is fairly quiet - a small street dominated by small stores and restaurants.
The apartment itself is terrific. It is located on the 2nd floor (by american counting, 1st floor in France), a small elevator helps if you arrive with luggage.
It is a newly renovated and located in an18th century building. Exposed beams, look very nice, it is quite large 45 square meters (about 480 sq ft), new, well equipped kitchen (stove, range, dishwasher, hood and all you need to prepare and eat meals). Very nice bathroom half a level up, separate room with toilet and washing machine.
High, modern windows let in light but keep noise (and cold) out.
The bed was comfortable and the pull-out sofa worked well for my son.
Fast internet (it even satisfied the standards or our 13 year old son...) keeps you connected.
The place of very clean and well kept.
The owner was very accommodating and helpful. It was a great choice for us and we can highly recommend this apartment
