The hosts welcomed us warmly and provided information to contact them in the event we needed anything. The location was ideal--close to Rue de l'Annonciation, a pedestrian street with cheese shop, fruit stand, bakeries and restaurants. A supermarket is also nearby. One night we walked ten minutes down the street to stand in awe at the base of the Eiffel Tower and take pictures. The metro was close by. We appreciated having a washer and dryer, and it was especially nice for our children to have two bedrooms.
