Richard is the best host I have ever had in all my travels. He was proactive in keeping me informed on what was happening with the strikes in Paris. Provided many recommendations and had the baby crib and high chair ready and waiting. Check in was easy and the flat is located in the hot spot for prime sight seeing. The climb up the stairs is a workout so be prepared if you have lots of baggage or baby stuff like we did. Over all wonderful experience staying at Richard’s flat.
