If you are coming to Paris, and you want to be in a convenient place, with all the amenities you could want at home, definitely consider staying at Gary's place. This apartment is a 1.5 minute walk to the Odéon metro station which makes it easy to get anywhere you want in Paris. However, it's also within easy walking distance to some of the major sights like Notre Dame, Luxembourg Gardens, Musée d'Orsay, etc. In 7 minutes, you're at the Seine. There's a Velib bike rental station right around the corner. The neighborhood itself is also very hip with good local nightlife and shopping.

Oh! and the apartment itself is great. Very modern styling, comfortable, has a full featured kitchen and washer/dryer which makes for longer trips and less packing. The apartment was also very clean, and the sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable (as in very comfortable). Gary was super helpful and available, and really made it easy for us to feel at home. My wife and I would have no reservations about staying here again, and we would recommend to any of our friends coming to Paris in the future.
