I had a wonderful stay at Cedric’s place. I lived in Paris for 8 years, and know it well, so was very self-sufficient, but the 7eme was a new neighborhood for me. Great food shopping (boulangerie, primeur, patisserie, fromagerie), centrally located (but on a quiet street), near metros and buses, and walkable. It was very cold in Paris during my stay, but the apartment was well heated and cozy.
