We really enjoyed our stay at Gary's apartment, which is well-appointed (the pictures don't do it justice) but also welcoming. Our family of two adults, and elderly mother and two teenage kids were very happy there. Gary was great at communicating and flexible (we were traveling to Paris from New York during Omicron and wavering about whether we would be able to go). The neighborhood, the upscale 16th, is quiet and fun to walk through. Everything you might need to make dinner in the well-stocked kitchen is close by. It is about a 1/2 hour lovely walk to the Trocadero/Eiffel Tower/Bateaux Mouches. Two Metro stops are a quick walk away. Area tips for your trip: Get a morning quiche, croissant or baguette Tradition at Le Petit Marquise in Place Victor Hugo; buy your groceries at the Casino market (skip the Monoprix); have oysters and Sancerre at Stella, a classic brasserie around the corner; or get a drink at the Library Bar in the luxury Hotel St. James, a short walk away (their spa services are also supposed to be great). As a family with an arthritic older person, we relied a lot on cabs. The local G7 app for calling city taxis worked very well. We had no problem getting a big car even during Christmas week. And lastly, if you're traveling during Covid and need a rapid antigen test, the staff at the pharmacie right up the block at 111 Rue Victor Hugo were wonderful.
