Penelope's apartment is a perfect place to explore Paris, especially if you are visiting for the first time. The location is perfect to get to the attractions. It is right by river Seine so we used the wonderful Batobus to get around. Many good restaurants and bistros around the apartment will be well liked by those looking for gastronomic adventures. Very safe, clean, quiet area, and charming as I had always thought Paris would be. Communications amd logistics were perfect. We were visiting with our young children and it was a lot of fun. Will highly recommend Penelope's apartment to anyone.
