Juan's apartment was beautiful and newly remodeled. It was in a perfect location for our stay in Paris (note that it is up several flights of stairs). We appreciated the washer/dryer and cooled off from the heat wave in the beautiful shower! The apartment was surrounded by restaurants, shops, bakeries, grocery stores, etc., all within just a few minutes. The Eiffel Tower was about 10 minutes away by foot. We had a picnic on the grass. From there, we walked over the River Seine to the Jardins du Trocadero and other sites. Our recommendations near the apartment: Boutique Pralus Paris Cler (chocolates, macarons, and don't miss the Praline- brioche with pink candied nuts- our favorite!), Du Pain et Vouz bakery (beautiful desserts for your picnic at the Eiffel Tower), Birdy (great burgers and truffle parmesan fries), Laduree (known for their macarons). Highly recommended!
