The apartment is in a great location and we walked nearly everywhere in Paris since it would have taken about the same amount of time to take the Metro. And we wanted to see the people, shops, and architecture. That said, there are many subway stops nearby so it is super easy to get around Paris either way.
Joseph was a very thoughtful host and the apartment was super clean and comfortable. It’s on the top floor of a walk up with plenty of skylights and windows and lots of natural light. Highly recommended.
