Bertrand's apartment was a great home base for exploring Paris. It's conveniently located near the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides. As a home, it's very comfortable. There are many small food stores (produce, butcher, bakeries, grocery, etc. within a block) to procure amazing ingredients to cook in the well stocked kitchen. I also appreciated the washer and dryer! Finally, it was about 100 degrees while we were in Paris and the downstairs bedroom stayed nice and cool.
