Joel has a beautiful home - much better than even the pictures. This apartment is as French as it gets with beautiful molding on the ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors and a stocked kitchen. The home is located within walking distance (4 minute walk) to the metro and RER train stations. Notre Dame is about a 15 minute walk from the apartment and Eiffel Tower is 4 train stops away, with one connection - very easy and only 1.90 each way per person. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking to be a Parisian during their stay!
