Romain responded extremely quickly and helpfully to all messages. Upon arrival he showed us how to use everything we could possibly need and welcomed us with delicious deserts and a bottle of wine. The location is great, but you should know that the closest metro station is around the block at Reaumur-Sebastopol--the major Les Halles hub was too far for our taste to walk home from after a long day of walking everywhere else in Paris. The area is slightly expensive and there aren't many options for affordable groceries (there's a Monoprix, but I found much better prices on the same items at other stores farther away). Being on the "first" (English translation: second) floor was great, and we opened the windows to let in fresh air and take in the sounds of the lively restaurants below. Overall it was a great stay and we had a wonderful time in Paris.
