The apartment is away from the normal tourist locations in Paris which is actually extremely nice to get away from the crowds and actually enjoy the city life. For those who want, the tourist locations are easily accessible using either the 3 or 9 metro lines that both have stops within a few minute walk from the apartment. The apartment had a well equipped kitchen where we cooked a delicious Christmas dinner along with other meals. There are numerous small specialty stores and larger stores to obtain all the items needed to cook and make eating at home easy.
The hosts were extremely helpful with the check in and out process and provided great information about places to eat and things around the apartment. Overall, one of the more pleasant stays I have had in Paris.
