The location of this apartment is very ideal. It is very close to Champs-Elysees in 8th Arr. Because it is also very close to the French President's residence, there is always police presence, so we never worried about safety. The staircase is narrow (which was listed in the posting), but overall it is still a very good deal considering the hotel next door (la Reserve) charges thousands of euros per night. Jen is very helpful to give us tips on where to go and where to eat. We spent a very memorable week in her apartment.
