The Painter's House is a haven in Paris and Erik and Dominique are gracious hosts. This beautiful old home is hidden behind a wall of other apartments in a secluded courtyard behind a gate. You will be rewarded with your own living space on the third floor filled with original artwork. It's clean, comfortable, and a great experience. It's close to the Glaciere metro stop which goes straight to the Eiffel Tower and to the Arc de Triumph. Not a lot of cafes in the area, but Paris is for walking anyway. There is a resident cat, but he goes nowhere near near the third floor.
