The apartment was very self sufficient, and was about 12-15 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. It was in a very safe neighborhood, and there was a very nice bakery across the street. The bakery had very good bread, desserts and local cuisine and was very convenient to breakfast and dinner. The bathroom was very nice as well. The most beautiful thing is the view we got each evening of the Eiffel tower, especially when the tower gleamed each hour. There were also groceries stores right downstairs which was good source for water, milk etc. Overall, I would recommend it to my friends.
