Romain's place was great! Exactly like the pictures. It was a fantastic location, couldn't beat it! We were able to walk everywhere! Could even see the Eiffel Tower from the window!
The five flights of steep winding stairs was a little bit of a hindrance at first, but we grew to enjoy the workout. We were traveling with backpacks, but if you bring anything larger than a carry-on sized bag you may have a much harder time than we did getting up the stairs.
Romain had everything we needed including an iron and hair dryer. He had shelving space and hanging space in the closet for us to unpack and feel at home. Romain was a great host, showing us everything we needed to know about his place. And he was always available and quick to reply if/when we had questions.
To be honest, we weren't in the flat much. We were exploring Paris as much as we could from sun up to sun down. But Romain was wonderful! And his flat --- we can't get over the great location! We were so fortunate to find it and be able to stay there!
