Boris is a great host. He welcomed us, showed us everything around his apartment, and even told us some history of that place and surrounding buildings. He made sure several times that we didn't need anything. Everything that is listed is there for you to use. If you don't mind walking, it's pretty close to the Arc de Triomphe and from there to other signs. If you prefer public transportation, we used a metro and busses that stop between 3 to 8 minutes from his place. Also, if you don't want to eat out every day, there is a grocery store literally 2 minutes away.
