Hey, just to answer the question as to where i'm at exactly: View Larger Map

Also, the round about cost of coming to Paris: $615 - Airfare. I used kayak.com to find the flight.

$12 - Train ride from the The airport to Paris

$1,029.14 - Cost of the apartment for the week. (650 Euro - it is about average)

Everything else is the same price point as NYC but multiply it by 1.56. so a Starbucks coffee would cost you 5 euro or $7.92.
