Bonjour, we had a wonderful time in Paris. The Apartment is located in foot distance from Bastille, an area with lots of restaurants, small shops and bars. We felt absolutely safe at all times strolling through the surrounding streets and since the apartment windows show into a beautiful garden backyard it was totally still so we had a good night sleep. The small kitchen is well equipped even with a washing machine and a dishwasher. We did not meet Roger himself but check-in and out was managed uncomplicated by friendly and helpful Marjane. We stopped on the way home from Bretagne so we needed the car spot, which just fit our car. You must be willing to shunt a little, as usual with cars within the city. If in doubt about the size of your car check the measures before booking.
