For those looking to stay away from the touristy hotels and congested areas, I highly recommend staying in the 7th near Rue Cler and the Eifle Tower. Valerie's home on Rue Saint Dominique is situated close to the Eifle, the Seine, Invalides, and metro. It's about a 40 minute walk to Notre Dame, but who cares when there is so much to see along the way. Valerie's home is quintessential Paris and very spacious given the location. There is a lift in the building too, so even more desirable! Finding 3 bedroom apartments in Paris can be tricky, and for the price, you cannot beat Valerie's apartment. What can I say, totally charming and comfortable.
