Check them out, pick one and book your stay with us in the City of Lights!

From anyone of our apartments you can, in no time flat, hop on the metro, get off at Republique (it's direct) and be a Flaneur at the Canal St Martin.

There is a wonderful mural not far from our building but it's nothing like these:

That crabby waiter at the cafe may change her tune in short order

Tourists and expats in France are quick to complain about rude servers at restaurants and cafés, but photo evidence has emerged to suggest it's the customers who should work on their manners.

Staying connected by cell phone while in Paris can be challenging and/or expensive. This is a great article to help you figure it out before you get on the plane:

There are two ways to take your phone overseas and get data — the frugal way, which requires a bit of tinkering, and the pay-full-price way.

When staying in Paris, it's always good to have a current, interesting and diverse list of great places to eat. Here are the most recent favorites from Alec Lobrano:

Our apartments are literally around the corner from the Commerce metro station (line 8). Here is something interesting and fun about the Paris metro tickets. Enjoy!
