My husband and I, plus our two teenage boys stayed here and had a wonderful visit! The location is literally steps from the Métro and the Louvre, as pictured, is also across the street. There is a grocery store within a five minute walk (G20), as well as a nice park (Jardin Nelson-Mandela), boulangerie/bakery (Gosselin) and several cafés. My only regret is that we didn't take the time to explore our little neighborhood before setting out to see the sites! The kitchen is a bit tight for major cooking, but was well supplied with utensils and all of the necessary items to prepare basic meals (which was very helpful when we all needed some downtime!). We were able to wash our clothes which allowed us to pack lighter, and was very convenient. Sadly, our visit had to come to an end, but if we ever make it back to Paris, we would love to stay at Éric's apartment again!
