Serge's place was perfect for our family of four. It's located near many shops and restaurants, but not overly touristy or noisy. The street market outside the apartment on Rue Saint Charles on Tuesday and Friday was a pleasant surprise. We felt much like locals as we browsed the various stalls. Serge was a very accommodating host who met us when we arrived, and personally showed us his apartment so we felt very welcomed. We loved the decor and many amenities in his apartment, because so many rentals these days are bare-bones when it comes to amenities. Serge's place seemed like a real home, not just a bunch of rooms with minimal furnishings. And to top it all off, the balcony has a great view of the Eiffel Tower, especially on a clear night! Thanks so much again for the hospitality.
