The apartment was beautiful and in a very convenient location for exploring Paris. Whether coming from the airport or train, the location is perfect for someone without a car. The area was full of grocery stores. We loved the Patisserie that was across the street. There were also a number of restaurants, but we took advantage of the kitchen and did a lot of cooking for breakfasts and dinners. Gerard was very approachable for asking questions. He made sure everything was in order for our arrival.
