This is a lovely, peaceful apartment, filled with bright and interesting art and lots of books! Etienne is a considerate, generous, and lovely host, who helped to orient us in Paris. He gave us excellent suggestions and welcomed our questions from afar, throughout our four days. This neighborhood is quite wonderful, with a fantastic cheese shop, veggie and fruit shops, bakeries and patisseries, a great brasserie, and a variety of good restaurants all just a walk away. Even though it's so near to the Eiffel Tower and other tourist spots, it feels like a genuine residential neighborhood, which was nice to return to at the end of our long days in the city. We enjoyed croissants and coffee at Bechu, up the street, each morning, and two dinners at Le Stella -- a great brasserie -- and we found it easy to hop onto nearby buses to explore Paris each day. I came to love this area, which was new to me, and I have a special affection for it now. Many thanks to Etienne for such a memorable time.
