Vincent was a great host - he answered all of my questions prior to our stay, recommended local places to eat, was flexible with check-in/check-out times, and even provided an iron at my request! The apartment is just as described - a perfect central location for exploring Paris. We felt very safe in the neighbourhood, even late at night. Our only complaint was that the apartment got quite hot at night (no thanks to the lovely July weather!) but with the window open wide it quickly cooled down. It's quite basic and there were a lot of stairs, but it was a clean, quiet and safe place to relax after a long day sightseeing, which is just what we wanted! We had a wonderful time!
