Arnaud's apartment is spacious, clean, and close to all the major attractions, we didn't have to take any public transportation in order to visit places, find restaurants and do shopping, this is a major plus, since we don't speak or read French, public transportation can be confusing. I also like the fact that his apartment was built during the time of Napoleon III, the building design and some of the fixatures, decors, furniture still reflect the beauty and style of that time, staying there felt like living through that part of history, which inspired me of doing more research about Paris history. It is really fascinating to learn from the neighbors and local store owners about how Nepoleon III hired Hassman (spelling error?) rebuilt Paris. To make a long story short, we really enjoyed our stay at Arnaud's place, he is a great host. I will definitely recommend his apartment.
