We picked Romain's apartment due it's location and ease of commuting in and out of Paris and it didn't disappoint! Laurent, who greeted us in Romain's absence, was kind and welcoming. Since it wasn't our first trip we had no reason to fully utilise all of our host's advice but this apartment and his knowledge of the area would suit a first timer to the capital. What was helpful was his tip to use the nearby city locker for our luggage the day we checked out. We thoroughly enjoyed how close we were to Rue Montorgueil and surrounds with all of its bistros and restaurants.
