Lucas is a very nice host. When we arrived he was helpful to get us orientated to the area with maps showing the locations of nearby grocery stores, bakeries, restaurants, etc with some recommendations. As English speaking tourists, Lucas was a big help for us as his English is good and our French is pretty limited. The apartment was easy to get to from the airport: a 45 minute direct train ride on the RER Blue. The location is excellent: it felt like we were in a neighborhood tourists don't stay in very much but we're were able to walk to all the typical sights: the catacombs are right down the street, Notre Dame is about a 30 minute walk, the Eiffel tower was the farthest: a 1.5 hour walk.
