Richard's apartment is great, it is two minutes from the metro and an amazing boulangerie (I'm not sure if this is the one others recommended but we loved the one over the main road next to the metro stop into central Paris, everything we had was excellent). There is a big Carrefour five minutes walk away, and the parking is easy either on the road, or in the hotel garage at the road. If you park there for more than a day, take your car out every 24 hours and drive round then back in, it is much cheaper, the car park attendant told us to do this and it was very helpful. The apartment is beautifully atmospheric, especially at night on the balcony, and we had a really great stay for a few days with our teenage children. Richard was very helpful and communicative, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his apartment and would stay again if returning to Paris.
