I did not meet Sid, but I did meet his sister Kapila, who helped with the check in process. Both were extremely responsive. Kapila gave a warm welcome and a quick run through of what was available in the apartment for our use. The place was exactly as pictured. You can get around by foot, but we did end up being lazy and took the subway or bus occasionally. It's about a half hour walk to Musee D'Orsay and the Lourve. The Eiffel Tower would be just over an hour of you walk. There is a shopping mall nearby about 5 min on foot. There's also pharmacies and a Carrefour Bon App around the corner. There are lots of places nearby to grab a bite. Overall, it was a great stay!
