David's place is centrally located and easily walkable to many of the sites. We stayed for two nights and didn't need to use the metro except when we went to Montmarte. There are bakeries, restaurants and markets within blocks but at night the apartment is quiet. We had a flight delay and arrived two hours later than anticipated. I emailed David when we learned of the delay and he was quick to respond and accommodate our new arrival time. If you do not see the house number when you are walking up the street look up, it is posted higher than the adjacent buildings.
