Denis and Annegret were wonderfully welcoming and helpful , warm and always concerned that we were comfortable, apologizing even for the weather which is no fault of theirs. They provided loads of tips on where to eat and where to go. They went the extra mile by getting taxi numbers and bus routes for us.
The location of the apartment is VERY good - if you wish to walk, many of the tourist attractions eg Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame, the Louvre are all very manageable -within half an hour at a leisurely pace. If you prefer transport, there are 2 Metro stations very nearby. A fabulous bakery is just a few doors away, and there are friendly local restaurants offering simple but delicious food, a Carrefour minimart just next door and a coin-operated laundry at Rue Pierre Leroux a short distance away. If you clamour a Michelin guide restaurant,there is one about a 7 minute walk away - the Le Recamier.
