Ben met us at the apt and helped carry our bags up the stairs. He showed us how everything worked and made sure all our questions were answered. He was friendly and welcoming. The apt was neat and well furnished. We loved the neighborhood and the proximity to Notre Dame, a open air market, and so many shops, cafes and grocers. There was a bakery less than a block a way. It is a hike up the stairs, so be prepared for a workout, but otherwise would definitely recommend it for a great location to stay in the heart of Paris.
