We enjoyed our stay in Brigitte's apartment! Loved all the space, the fully equipped kitchen, lovely shower/bath, and the very close access to the Metro stop (Argentine). We take the metro everywhere so it's important to us to have a stop close by. The apartment is in a lively and lovely area near the Arc de Triomphe, yet the apartment is on a quiet side street, which we appreciated. You are better off venturing a bit off the beaten path away from the Arc and other touristy areas to find the best restaurants at more reasonable prices. A few recommendations: Paris-Shuttle.com for airport pick-up and return if you don't want to try to manage luggage on the train and metro. Also book a night out or a bicycle tour with Anto from Airbnb Experiences. He's fabulous! We can also recommend Georgie for a "Treasures of the Louvre" tour. Enjoy your stay in this beautiful city!
