We (family of 4 with 2 children) had a fabulous stay at Antonio's flat. The purpose of our visit to Paris was for me to run in the Paris Marathon and I would really recommend this flat as an ideal Marathon base. The flat is extremely comfortable and quiet ensuring a good nights sleep prior to the race and is ideally situated for the start. On race day I took a short walk to Villiers and went a couple of stops on the metro to the Arc De Triomphe for the race start which was really simple and saved my legs for the run. Being so close allowed me to avoid the baggage drop (which was total carnage) and avoid the busy metro on the way home, meeting my family in Parc Monceau (about 10 mins walk from the race finish at Avenue Foch) and then another 10 mins walk back to the flat. Once back at the flat there is a lift and a bath - post marathon bliss! The flat is ideally situated for visiting all of the sights, many of which are within walking distance. There were some lovely bakeries nearby and a couple of handy express supermarkets as well as a larger market which seemed to open every day. Antonio was a great host and gave us a tour of the area upon arrival despite the fact that we were an hour later than planned (Paris traffic!) and kept in touch with us during our stay to ensure all was well. A lovely flat in a lovely city.
