We didn't meet Ben, however our stay at his apartment in the Latin Quarter was phenomenal. His representative for check-in was timely, polite, and knowledgeable. The apartment itself is a beautiful fifth floor walk-up with a window view of the Latin quarter and Notre Dame. You can walk to the cathedral in three minutes, and the apartment has easy Metro and RER access. Communication with Ben prior to the stay was laid-back, but timely. He does not micro-manage the apartment with rules and regulations, as I have seen with other owners. Thanks, Ben, for the great stay!
