First off, I think that the actual view from the apartment window's much better than what's in the picture. The apartment's much closer to the Eiffel tower that I thought it was. My mom and my mother-in-law were at awe with the view from the apartment and just stared at the tower for a few minutes.

The apartment's very close to a couple of small grocery stores along Ave de Suffren. Both have the basics so either is fine. There is also a bakery/pastry shop next to one of the groceries. I frequented that place since they had really good bread; I got my baggette daily from them. There is a butcher just around that block where I got my jambon, paté, steak, pork chops, etc. It's really convenient if you're cooking. If you're not satisfied with the stores there, you could go to Rue Cler (1 km away) which I frequented as well. I got my cheese and wine from a couple of cheese and wine shops there, respectively.

Also, the apartment's just a 2-4 blocks from two metro stations. The RER C station's around the corner too so it's really convenient if you're going to Versailles.

Note that one bedroom doesn't have a shower so you're going to have to take a bath instead. But bathing with the view of the Eiffel tower more than made up for the lack of shower. It was actually quite an experience.

It's worth noting that the area has a number of consulates, and the UNESCO office is nearby. We actually shared an elevator ride with Peru's UNESCO ambassador who also lives in the building.

Lastly, thanks to Alexis for making our vacation a truly memorable one. He was really helpful from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to a friend.
