Bernard's place was perfect for our one week visit in Paris. The 16th arr. is a lovely area to stay in, quiet and non-touristy, but with plentiful views of the Eiffel Tower and many good restaurants. The area is specifically known for it's Art Nouveau architecture and we spent many happy hours wandering the neighborhood looking at the intricately detailed buildings with flowers spilling over every balcony. There are multiple fantastic bakeries close to the apartment - Boulangerie Basil was our favorite. Transportation is easy from Bernard's place - we chose to use Ubers, but bus and metro are also close by. The apartment itself is beautiful and peaceful, we spent a couple days just relaxing and reading. Bernard's architect daughter designed the renovation and it feels spacious and bright. Elevator is charming and works well for hauling luggage up the stairs or when you are too tired to climb the 3 short flights. Place was well stocked with coffee, toilet paper, and even some nice fruit and juice which we enjoyed. The only downside - no AC. It was a little warm. Bernard provided a fan and windows open for a nice cross breeze, but I don't think I'd stay here in the summer.
