I completely lucked out by staying at Jean Michel's private apt, he was in the adjoining apt so I felt very safe being there knowing if I needed help he was there. This apt has a queen size bed in a small room, very modern bathroom and complete kitchen with coffee pods + coffee maker, kettle + tea, washer and dryer. The best part was that the metro was 1/2 block away, walking distance to amazing Dept stores like Gallery Lafayette and Printemps (20 mins) a bakery on every corner, outdoor restaurants with good meals in the area, this apt is in district 8, 5 mins walk to district 9. The train station at Gare Saint-Lazare is a 10 min walk. Eiffel Tower a very close metro ride.
