We found Fabrice's place to be a great home base for visiting Paris. The metro is so convenient and there were lots of shops and restaurants right outside the door. The apartment is small, but the view is priceless. Eiffel Tower light show, anyone? The building is very secure and nice as well. Be aware that there is construction going on right now in front of the building, so if you are driving, you'll need to pre-plan a little on where to unload. Even so, we would love to rent this place again!
