We chose this home as it was in a different part of Paris and we wanted to explore more neighborhoods after staying in Saint-Germain. We found the apartment tastefully decorated. The modern chaise lounge chairs were the most comfortable we've ever cat napped on. :-) We also found the bed deliciously comfortable. The standing shower is a bit on the small side so you may be more comfortable in the tub with a hand shower. We appreciated the washer/dryer as we had minimum clothes (my wife's excuse to shop). The kitchen/amenities are good for simple preparations and has a Keurig.

There is a very delightful bakery on the corner, and some fabulous restaurants in the neighborhood including wine, grocery and pharmacy stores. Don't miss the Schum restaurant! It's walkable. Additionally, the Metro is conveniently nearby and there is a Vélib bike station too. One of our most enjoyable days was when we rented a bike, and toured through the Bois de Boulogne park which is 2x the size of Central Park in NY. We discovered beautiful lakes, gardens, and the Louis Vuitton Foundation is also located here, a private cultural center and contemporary-art museum designed by Gehry. It is surreal! There are refreshment stands that offers wine, beer and snacks. The local Parisians hang out here with their dogs, and friends. BTW - You can also bike to the Designer vintage & consignment stores from the park: Reciproque.

Within the neighborhood is also the Palais des Congrès de Paris which is a convention center, shopping and concert venue all in one.

Note: You will have to use the metro - M1, and cabs (or bike!) to access other Paris neighborhoods and well known landmarks/tourist attractions except for the Arch de Triomphe. It is a less crowded neighborhood, and good for biking but not the most ideal location if you have a lot of sightseeing planned.
