This was EXACTLY as advertised! You want a beautiful view from high up? It's here. You want to shower while looking at the Eiffel Tower? It's here. You want to go down to the street and have your choice of bakeries? You've got it. The subway station is right on the 1 line and you're about a half hour away from most major sites. We had a couple of questions during our stay and Jean-Claude responded very quickly. I cannot recommend his home more.
