Where we are

We really didn't want to stay in a hotel in Paris, so after a bunch of research on the internet I found a two bedroom apartment on the Left Bank, near the Eiffel Tower. It looked very nice from the pictures and the location was great, so we took the plunge.

It's not as nice as the photos (though some things in Paris are nicer than the photos), but it's a pleasant, small, well-equipped apartment with 2 very small bedrooms,a kitchen, a decent size, bright living room with a TV and modem, a little dining nook, 2 bath (actually shower) rooms and a single toilet. So far, it works pretty well. It's nice and warm, which isn't something you can count on and which is very much appreciated after walking around in the cold, and very convenient to the Metro, the Eiffel Tower, and a very nice neighborhood. All in all it's a good thing. I think it's just nice having a room that's not the room you sleep in, and I like having a kitchen.
