We stayed 5 nights in Richard's flat and we were so happy that we did! The location was incredible, right next to the Louvre and the Seine River. The flat was charming and comfortable, and had more space than a typical Parisian hotel room. Richard was so kind to leave us tea, coffee, biscuits and milk to get us started in the mornings. He also gave us ample recommendations to eat and drink well close to the flat and in Paris! He has several guide books and maps to borrow if you don't bring your own. The space is bright and clean, and has an amazing church right out the windows! There is no elevator so you will need to climb 4 flights of stairs, but we are 60+ and managed without any problems. There is construction going on in the area but it didn't cramp our style. We felt fortunate to have found a clean and cosy Parisian flat in such an amazing and safe location, and with such a wonderful host. Richard made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay fantastic! We would definitely stay again if ever back in Paris.
