Isabelle's place is in a very safe building in a great location. The metro and public transportation is so easy in Paris, so it was awesome to be just a block or two from the Javel metro stop and several bus lines. It made getting to awesome destinations like the Lourve and Catacombs so simple. We walked to the Eiffel Tower and Park Jardin du Trocadero easily. The balcony is the perfect place to drink wine and eat cheese before going out for the night. We went in August when it was very, very hot out, but the large doors off the balcony offer some breeze at night. With so much to do in Paris, we were really please with this location. It made for a great home-base during our trip.
