Frederic mete me at the flat on time. He is very nice and helpful. The flat albeit small was perfect for my two nights in Paris. It is comfortable and decorated to make one feel at home. The shower is small, but works well with plenty of warm water to bathe. I had read the previous reviews and must say that the flare exceeded my expectation. I knew of the 6 flights of stairs and that did not bother me, because it is located in a good location, easy access to the Metro, restaurants, fresh fruit and more than one fantastic bakery. With the Metro I was only 4 stops from the Gare de l'Est (no transfers) and 5 from Notre Dame. If traveling alone I definitely recommend.
