Christian is indeed a super host. He was always available for assistance and helped us with navigating the area including restaurants, bakeries, banks, stores, and the metro. He even personally walked us to an upscale liquor store. and nearby restaurant. The apartment is in an absolutely great location walking distance to restaurants, ATM's, stores, Notre Dame, the Seine , the Autobaut, and the metro. We also were able to walk to jazz clubs and upscale shopping. We felt very safe . The apartment is in a 17th century building but is tastefully remodeled with new appliances that will meet all your needs. We did have some difficulty operating the stove and wadher/dryer but Christian was alwaysxavailablecto assist. AC was a plus. I would just caution that if you are older or have limited mobility , the stairs to get upstairs may be a challenge and the small but efficient shower and queen sized bed is upstairs. We solved the problem by having our adult granddaughter stay upstairs and we took the very comfortable sofa bed downstairs. That way, we only needed to go upstairs to shower. There is a 1/2 bath downstairs. Overall, we had a wonderful 6 day stay in Paris and would definitely rent this apartment again. Thank you Christian for your generous hospitality.
