We throughly enjoyed our stay at Helene’s apartment! Helene was the perfect host, and we were grateful that she met us at the apartment upon our arrival to show us around and to make sure that we knew where everything was. The apartment is in a great location, where we were able to walk or take the Metro all over the city. Nearby there is a grocery store, post office, bakeries, lots of restaurants, and it is easy to walk to most of the tourist places. There is also a great market on Sundays and Thursdays that you can easily walk to - they sell fruits and veggies, pre-made foods, crepes, purses/scarfs/hats, flowers, etc. The apartment is spacious, clean, has lots of kitchen tools/equipment, and the balconies are very nice. We were thankful to have the elevators in the building, so that after walking 8 or so miles a day we didn’t have to walk up 8 flights of stairs! We would not hesitate to stay in Helene’s apartment should we return to Paris.
