Olivier's apartment is in a residential neighborhood with good restaurants, a grocery store, bakeries, and a mall. The subway station is half a block away. There are 2 bike rental stands on the circle. it didn't take long to ride to the Seine. Riding along the Seine was a great highlight of the trip.
The view is amazing especially on our one sunny autumn morning. You can see the Eiffel Tower do its light show at night. There is a small outdoor patio but big enough for me to enjoy my morning coffee and look at the waking city. The apartment was exactly as described. The kitchen is well equipped and new although we ate out. The neighbors are friendly. You can hear street noise in the distance but the apartment is quiet. Olivier explains everything well. The only thing we couldn't figure out was the washer dryer. If you aren't familiar with this type of unit, I would look for online instructions first, although that didn't help us.
