Our experience with Richard was perfect from first contact to checkout. He provided perfect detailed directions, codes for getting in the building, wifi passwords, etc. Richard always responded quickly. Upon arrival, we met Richard in the flat...I don't think I heard a word he said because I was distracted by the powerfully beautiful view out the windows. The Gothic church is seen through three giant windows...so close you can almost touch it. The flat was nicely decorated, exactly as in the pictures. The comfortable bed looked out at the church...which lit up beautifully at night. There was a good sized bathroom with plenty of hot water. The kitchen had everything we need. Comfortable little living room area with a couch, tv and desk. I spent quite a bit of time at the desk enjoying the view! The location couldn't be better...right outside the door is the Louvre...behind the building is the Seine River. Close to metro stops. The area has many restaurants within walking distance. We actually cut short a couple days of sightseeing to hang out in the flat and enjoy being "at home". Thank you so much, Richard! You were the perfect host, so easy and enjoyable to work with! I can't wait to return with my husband! Lisa and son Corey
