My wife and I stayed in Ian’s apartment during our first trip to Paris and we had a truly great experience. The place was beautiful, clean, and an ideal location - in a nice, quiet neighborhood just a few blocks away from the Eiffel Tower, with lots of bars and restaurants and a metro stop nearby. And Ian is a great and responsive host; all of his instructions were spot-on and, although we had some issues with the WiFi when we first arrived, he had it fixed right away. The apartment is definitely not an option for those with limited mobility (i.e. the stairs) and yes, the street outside can get noisy if you have the windows open, especially in the early hours of the morning (trucks, motorcycles, etc.). Nonetheless it is an amazing apartment and I would highly recommend it. A great introduction to the wonderful city of Paris.
