Overall it was a good stay, and I would stay there again. The neighborhood was safe, it is a block from the US Embassy and 3 blocks from President's palace, so many police around. Apt is on ground floor and enters from a courtyard, with not much natural light in the apartment and no view, but it is clean and everything works. It was odd that there were no utensils in the kitchenette. There are many restaurants and stores in walking distance, and Madeleine Metro station is near by, as well as Place de la Concorde station. Since we were there a week we would walk to the Monop grocery store a couple of blocks away, it's next to the McDonalds, to get food, snacks, and essentials. The apt is a little smaller than the pictures made it seem but it worked good for us, and we had 5 adults. But all the apt's in Paris are on the smaller side. I would recommend this apartment.
