Per the title of this review, there's no better location in Paris. The #1 Metro station is literally outside your door. Les Marais is behind you, and there is a great view of the Hotel des Villes out the front windows. It's a VERY short walk to Ile de La Cite, Ile de St. Louis, and the Latin Quarter, and an easy Metro or bus ride to literally everywhere else in Paris. The compact kitchen was enough in which to make coffee or Nespresso, and a few mornings we whipped up some omelets. (The kitchen is well-equipped for 2) It has a washer-dryer: since we could do laundry we could fly without checking baggage. While something in between a studio and a true 1 BR, there was ample space, and the bed was large enough and comfy. Great restaurants are minutes away by foot, and the one recommended by the owner, Le Pave, was fantastique! The department store BHV/Marais is a block away, and there are two boulangeries/patisseries around the corner. Tourist office across the street. Very clean & tidy. And because you need two numerical codes to get in the building and a QR code to get in the flat, you feel safe & secure, and don't need to carry keys with you. Truly we cannot imagine a better place to stay
