Eric's place is such a great location for exploring Paris, it's a super area and lots of little restaurants and bars to explore, also not too far from the metro (number 12, which gets you to lots of good places) and it's not even that far to walk down to the Seine/Louvre etc. (probably half an hour, we did it most days). Eric is also a really nice host, very communicative and friendly, offering local recommendations as well. It is a small apartment (probably slightly smaller than it looks on the photo) but a clean and comfortable base for a Paris trip (the shower is great).
