Close to effiel tower is an understatement. Fréd's place is literally within a few hundred feet from the tower and has a great view. It's an exceptional location for enjoying all that paris has to offer. From easy access to public transportation to the litany of restaurants and bakeries, her place is ideal for a Paris stay at any time of the year. Fréd was a wonderful host and showed us all of the locations for her favorite spots in the area. Brochures, maps, how to get around, etc. Her place is very secure and in a nice area. Highly recommended !
