We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bertrand’s. He met us at the Metro stop and helped us with our luggage the 1 ½ blocks to the apartment. It’s up only 1 flight of stairs. The apartment was exactly as described, except it should say he has the best shower in Europe. Bertrand provided all the necessary info, such as how to operate the awesome TV, washing machine, and directions to important sites in Paris. He always responded quickly to any questions we texted to him. The quiet neighborhood was typical Paris. Get a multi-day Metro/bus pass and Paris is yours. We highly recommend Bertrand’s place and would want to return if we are ever again in Paris.
