This home is phenomenal! The area around the home is very safe and has great local businesses. We came for my 30th birthday and the New Year festivities. My friend stayed in a nearby hotel so we walked around a lot, sometimes very late, and were very safe. We took taxis to le Champs d'Elysee, le Merais, et Saint Germaine areas for a group of 4 consistently and they were about $40 every time. The train was $25 per day from porte de versailles (within walking distance). We loved le Merais area, so festive, not too busy, and was even close to le Louvre. There is a cat that comes to visit on the balcony every once in a while, very friendly! I left converter plugs for the next American tourist! You will love it here. Au Revoir!
