Fabrice's charming wife Valerie warmly welcomed us and explained the workings of the apartment. The apartment was just as described, clean, compact and equipped with everything we needed for a week's stay. The lift was excellent as it is on the 7th floor, no need to carry cases upstairs. The situation of the apartment was incredible, the view of the Eiffel Tower at night, on the hour is amazing. The metro line 7 is about 2 minutes from the apartment and a five minute walk away is the metro at Place d'Italie and that has access to different metro lines. It is under 10 minutes to the Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3. Easy access to all of Paris from this lovely flat. There are many restaurants to choose from along with 2 supermarkets and other shops on the Avenue. All contact with Fabrice was quick and efficient.
