The location was perfect, steps from a metro station, a street market twice weekly, patisserie, produce, markets and many types good nearby. Yet it was very quiet. Richard was an excellent host, answering quickly and being very helpful. He left a list of recommendations, food, places to visit, bars, theatres. The apartment fit 2 of us well, having a second floor was helpful when one of us woke early from the time change difference between home and Paris. It had a lot of supplies in the kitchen, including coffee and tea. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment or host and will contact him again when we return to Paris. A+
