The location of this apartment is magnificent, a block from the Louvre. We like to walk and walked to nearly all the iconic places of Paris. The apartment is surprisingly quiet and secure for its central location because the windows don't face a major street. Although it's conveniently accessible from the ground floor, it's also private because the windows face a lower road. The apartment is tastefully furnished. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was wonderful. Pierre is a terrific host. His instructions were clear and accurate, and he was extremely responsive to questions and issues. We would highly recommend this charming apartment!
