The apartment was exactly as presented in the description and photos. It was clean and comfortable and there were some nice amenities like a hair dryer, fan, iron and ironing board available for our use. The apartment was in a lively neighborhood, but we had no trouble with safety or noise. The location was outstanding! Everything you could want was at your fingertips. There was a terrific pedestrian street within a short distance that had restaurants, flower shops, markets, cheese, pastry, wine, meat and fish stores. There were also plenty of coffe shops and clothing stores in and around the neighborhood. The location was also perfect for seeing many of the main tourist sights. Paris is a very walkable city so we chose to go on foot to many (Louvre, Tuillerie Gardens, Notre Dame, etc.) There were also metro stations close by, the Sentier being the closest one. Yves was a very cordial host and was easy to reach and prompt to return messages. I would stay here again. Thanks you, Yves!
