This is a perfect location and apartment to experience living like a local. Everything you need or want is right in your neighborhood, and you get to enjoy it without being surrounded by other tourist! Local businesses and people are so kind, helpful, and patient! We found the cafes and restaurants in this area to be our favorites. There are a number of other ethnic eating options as well as traditional French. Great transportation options and reasonable walks to all the Paris sights. Andrea is the perfect host--excellent communication before and during our stay, providing references for dining and activities, and sharing his comfortable place.
