Our week-long stay in Paris was absolutely wonderful, thanks in large part to our lovely host Brigitte. She communicated with us prior to our arrival, and asked us about our plans to see if she could give us extra information to help us out. When we arrived, her son welcomed us, showed us the ins and outs of the apartment, and let us know to call him if we needed any help. The apartment is located in a very lively part of town, insanely close to a large metro station, lots of excellent shopping and great little (and big) restaurants. But don't let this location fool you into thinking it'll be noisy at night! Since it's in the back building of the complex, we were able to sleep with no disturbance, and so did our little one and a half year old. All in all, our Parisian experience was absolutely lovely. Merci Brigitte!
