Andre's apartment is immaculate and in a vibrant neighborhood. I could walk to the Eiffel Tower easily from there. It's very close to public transportation and every type of store you could need. I spent a little time trying to find a good grocery store but let me save you the time. Take a right out of the apartment building and then another right onto the main street. Then walk 3 blocks northwest and go to the Franprix store. I spent time going to the smaller markets but couldn't find everything I needed. I wish I had just gone to this one store.
After arriving I realized my phone had dropped out in the taxi cab so Andre helped me by using his phone to call my phone which alerted the driver that it was still in the taxi. He told me I should tip the driver but I didn't have cash on me. He loaned me the €15 to tip the driver until I could go to an ATM to pay him back. Andre also had milk, coffee, jam, and even a bottle of wine waiting for me in the fridge. He really went out of his way to help me get settled in by purchasing a fan so that it would be cooler when I sleep.
Andre has many useful tips for navigating the city and places you should visit. I'm glad I took his advice. He made getting into the Louvre less of a hassle. Andre is a great communicator and always answered my messages quickly. I loved the bed that pulled down from the ceiling. It was very comfortable. I also loved being able to open the windows to the lovely courtyard and feel the breeze coming in the apartment.
When I was ready to check out I had some goat cheese in one of his containers that I didn't want to have to throw away. He let me keep the container! Andre carried my suitcase down and made sure I got into the taxi and even gave the driver specific instructions in French for what terminal to bring me to at the airport.
I highly recommend this apartment and would stay there again if and when I return to Paris.
