We had a lovely time in Paris with the family and very much enjoyed our stay at Oliver’s place. The one quirk to point out is that the bathroom ceiling is pretty low, not a problem for most people but it’s tough to stand up straight if you are above 190 cm (which both my husband and father are.) The area reminds me of lower east side Manhattan, a little gritty but with loads of interesting artisanal places for food and drink. All the main attractions are within a 15-20 min and the subway is near.
