Kathleen was an amazing and thoughtful host. The apartment is very close to the Arc de Triomphe...if you walk out on the the main street and look right you can see it down the street. There are bus stops and metros within easy walking distance to all the major attractions. Food is easy to get to. I recommend the Monop' down the street for simple grocery stops...it's cheaper than eating out every night. There are at least 3 bakeries within a block of the apartment...the closest isn't the best one so just go down the side street a little and there are two more that are much better. Kathleen will tell you the best ones...just ask. She has great recommendations and suggestions. I really enjoyed my stay.
