Eric’s place is in a good location with the market place in Rue Mouffetard right outside, which provided plenty of choice for dinner. The train station was very convenient too, although Paris was having strikes while we were there, so we found it takes from 1/2 to 1 hour to walk to the standard tourist attractions. Our only issue with the apartment was the extremely small shower and bathroom which could be an issue if you are sharing with friends or have mobility issues. Otherwise it was a comfortable stay in an interesting area.
