Claire and Olivier were very kind and offered reccomendations for the area, their neighbors are also very welcoming. The apartment is lovely and comfortably fits 5 people, it is much more spacious than it appears on the listing. The apartment is a 45 minute walk from the main tourist attractions but metro tickets can be purchased in the station about 5 minutes from the apartment. China town is just around the corner and there are some great cafes in the area.
