Emma's apartment is wonderful. The view from the balcony of the Seine with its never ending cavalcade of river traffic and double decker RER trains - along with of course the Eiffel Tower and dome of Les Invalides - is fantastic. Easy to find, very close to shops and both the Metro and RER, and a bus stop outside the door. An ideal base for the usual first time touristy things: we went to the Eiffel Tower, Catacombs and Champs Elysee and walked around a fair bit of the 7th Arondissement on the other side of the river. Would definitely recommend and we can't wait to go back! :)
