We had a good experience. Although, I booked very late, Pierre was available to greet me. The apartment was as described. It was walking distance to the Eiffel tower. The #42 bus stop is right around the corner, and goes to Opera and Gallerie Lafayette. The #6 Duplexis train stop is two blocks away. We barely heard the elevated train that runs on the Boulevard de la Grenelle. La cerise sur le gateau: Poilâne is two doors down..
