Yves was a wonderful, helpful host. It was our first time in an apartment (rather than a hotel) and for the most part, the apartment was much better. The location was fantastic, great Paris neighborhood, very close to Metro. Apartment was very well equipped, great appliances (oven, microwave, cooktop, dishwasher, washer/dryer) Comfortable small space, but not unusually small for Paris standards. Good value for the money. For the most part, very quiet for a city center apartment.
