My wife, 16 year old daughter and I just returned from a great six night stay at Cedric's place. You enter through a wrought iron gate and walk through a classical courtyard to enter this great modern flat. The flat is very clean and just as described with all of the amenities that you will need. The location is perfect for sightseeing and shopping with short walks to Metro lines 1 and 9, as well as the Champs-Elysees. There are plenty of restaurants and markets in the surrounding area, so be sure to walk the streets and explore and as others have noted, once you enter the courtyard the sounds of the city seem to disappear. Cedric was a great host and even took the time to help us print out tickets to attractions while we were there.
