This apartment is centrally located. The entrance to the Metro and RER is a short block away. The area is very safe even late at night. The apartment itself has no view but we were on vacation and did not spend much time in it. We would exit the building, walk a few steps and have a stunning view of the Arc de Triomphe which is barely a block away. The Champs-Elysees is also a short 5 minute walk. The apartment appears to be recently redone and has modern comforts. The host had a friend wait for us even after we were delayed an hour. There were police officers and armed military everywhere so we felt safe.
