Herve was a really friendly and helpful host. He left us all the basics to get going (fruit, bread, milk) and told us where to go for more (the boulangerie Stohrer is brilliant, and the greengrocer opposite). The flat is stunning - great decor and amazing views. The location is fantastic. We have two kids (2 and 5) and could walk pretty much everywhere we wanted to go - from the Marais to St Germain, Tuileries to Ile de la Cite. Also well located for Disneyland - straight out on the RER. You have to adapt a little if you want more than 4 people there as there are two bedrooms, but there is plenty of space; we had three friends (1 adult, 2 kids) join us for 3 nights and it worked fine.
