We stayed in Christophe's apartment in June 2013. We found the apt. easy to locate, very central and well equipped. Christophe was also a very kind and attentive host. There were obvious drawbacks such as the size (esp. shower and height of mezzanine) and lack of natural light but these were more than compensated for by the ideal location,access to internet, ground floor location and other facilities.Very close to metro station but also within walking distance of many major tourist attractions eg. Centre Pompidou, Louvre and Notre Dame. Other nearby attractions are the Rue Montergueil (a 5 min. walk and a must for atmosphere, dining and people watching, both day and night); the nearby Marais district, the Place de Vosges (good restaurants); the Marche des Enfants, esp for Sunday brunch - go early to avoid crowds. An ideal spot to explore Paris and very close to excellent mini supermarket and bakery. I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment.
