We had a very pleasant stay. Linda, our host, was extremely conscientious and prompt with all communications as well as check-in and check-out. The apartment has no frills, but is clean and comfortable with plenty of charm. As other reviewers have mentioned, the stairs are narrow and steep (I think our kids counted around 80 steps) and not for those with difficulty climbing. The location, however, is ideal. In addition to being near the Louvre and other sites, it is close to Metro and RER (direct line to the airport), and grocery stores, restaurants and bakeries are literally outside the door.
