i stayed at the apartment for 4 days with my sister and niece. the location is perfect, for a first time visitor to paris and for someone who knows the city well. the metro station is very close, where you can see the eiffel tower every morning and every evening. ther's a supermarket within 2 minutes walk, with fresh food, and a good sushi place within 5 minutes walk (and not expensive), and many cafes near the metro station. the neighborhood is very quiet, and it feels very safe to walk in the street at all time. cathy was very nice, and very accommodating and the communication was great...i can go on and on, but really, the bottom line is that it is the perfect place to stay when visiting paris, i would love to come back :)
