Excellent location. Valerie has thought of everything, very clear written instructions/helpful hints in French and English. Lots of maps and guidebooks to peruse. We spent very little time in the apartment but it was so nice to have homey comforts and the ability to do laundry. Valerie and Frederic were exceptionally helpful and communicative around a wonky arrival time (coming at the end of a 5 hour drive that turned into 8 hours thanks to Paris traffic....Who knew?) Truly appreciated their patience and flexibility. Building is very safe and the metro is only blocks away. Easy, none or one transfer to downtown sights.
