Bernard was not available so his friend Lydia greeted us. Our flight was on time, but because of the long lines at airport customs and traffic from airport to apartment, we were late to meet her! However, she waited for us and was very kind to let us know everything about the place and to give us the key. The apartment is small, but enough for two people and it was updated in an old building. There was a fridge, microwave, coffee machine, etc. It's very close to Opéra Garnier, the metro, and tons of shopping! Most of the surrounding restaurants were overpriced though, but I guess that's to be expected in such a prime location! So we did some of our dining outside the area, like in St. George, or bought food at the market and ate it in the apartment. Overall, it was a tiny but clean/updated apartment located in a very centralized spot close to the Louvre, Tuileries Garden, the Place de la Concorde, and of course the Opera! Merci, Lydia and Bernard!
