Luis’ home is a gem. First of all the apartment is very comfortable and the view is spectacular. Though it’s not within the city centre, travelling to and from major attractions such as Louvre would only take around 30 minutes. Besides that, you’ll also get to experience what it’s like to live in a neighbourhood less dedicated to tourists and is more local. The nearest metro is within short walking distance but there are some stairs involved so do factor that in. Busses do reach nearby the place so that’s another option for travelling. Within the neighbourhood there are supermarkets, boulangeries, bistros, café, laundry/lavarie, and pharmacy which made living in the area very convenient. Luis was also very responsive on phone (which helps to alleviate travel anxiety) with clear instructions provided prior to arrival to ensure everything from the point of check-in to check-out are smooth sailing. All in all, it was a great experience staying at Luis’ place.
