If you want to explore Paris outside of the touristy areas, then this is the place for you. Very central to the subway, lots of great places to eat around, coffee, pastries, and much more. Our favorite was the bar down the street. We loved how safe we felt while we were visiting from out of the country and how quiet the apartment building was. We were able to use all the amenities he offered and he was so gracious to squeeze us in for a last minute visit.
