This is a great apartment to stay in. It is next door to the Opera and is at the very heart of Paris, walking distance to the Louvre, Notre Dame, Madeleine, and lots more. The Opera metro stop is a half a block away. There are great cafes all around. Great views from the balcony. The apartment is cosy, clean, and has everything that is necessary for a great stay. Bernard is a great host. He is very responsive and helpful, and answers correspondence right away. Bernard went beyond what we expected by anticipating what information we might need - especially helpful for a visit to Paris. He even helped us with advice as to what areas to look into for our stay in Bordeaux. In Paris, we were warmly welcomed by Francois who was very attentive to our needs, and checked in with us periodically. Thanks Bernard and Francois. We'll certainly come back to stay on Boulevard des Capucines again.
