My girlfriend and I were in Paris for two weeks and Pierre's apartment served us perfectly. Everything you need is available in the apartment, the location for us was perfect as it sits in between two metro lines which easily get you anywhere in Paris in under 30 mins, usually around 20-25 to central Paris. There's a fantastic café just around the corner by the canal which we really loved. There's many little restaurants and café's in the area and all your regular amenities are not more than a 5-10 min walk away. There's alot of cool little places along the canal, as well as the mk2 cinema which I thought was fun. Pierre was a great host, always prompt to answer our questions and provided us with excellent ideas on things to do. The only thing that's worth keeping in mind is the apartment is on the 6th floor with no elevator, this gives you a great view but is a hell of a trek with a couple 50lbs suitcases. Overall very happy with our stay and would highly recommend the place for any individual or couple looking for a non touristy more authentic Paris experience.
