Eric is an excellent host. Although he was not able to greet us upon arrival, his arrangements were easy to follow and we got into the apartment without any problem. The pictures are accurate. The apartment is compact and efficient as well as totally comfortable. The beds and pillows are amazing!! Great night sleep each night. The windows and doors work very well blocking most of the urban noise. The location, across from the Louvre was perfect for our visit. The Louvre/Rivoli metro is directly across from the apartment. There is a cash machine is conveniently located just outside the front door along with an adorable cafe. Within walking distance are museums, food of all sorts, the river. I highly recommend this apartment and Eric as a host!
