Our stay in Albert's home was very pleasant. The apartment is big enough for 2 couples and has everything that you could need. The plus for us were the two bedrooms with comfortable beds.
The apartment is quiet and very well situated. The neighborhood is very nice and calm. We found near the metro (exit Rue Dorian) a shop opened all the time that had plenty of choices for our food supplies.
You can reach city center easily by public transport or by foot. We reached Bastille, Notre Dame and Sorbona area by foot on our first day :)
