Quentin was very helpful before, during, and after our stay. I was provided with clear instructions about accessing the apartment and what would be available well before my arrival.

The apartment is quite close to the metro at the Arc de Triomphe (Étoile) and is really within 5 minutes by foot. The neighborhood is rather high-end (I was there on a Saturday and the bars were closing at 19:00; I suppose to keep the scoundrels at bay or something) but it is not hard at all to find a place for a drink, dinner, or shopping. The Champs-Elysées are just stone's throw away, of course.

The apartment itself is well-appointed and clean. The view is simply beautiful. It is on the top floor (the sixth) and it is reached by a spiral staircase, no elevator. I do not advise this accommodation for those with bad knees, heart or lung issues, or lots of baggage. I was rewarded for my efforts with a silly good view of southern Paris ranging from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower. My friend and I stayed in for a while just so we could share a beer and watch the sun set.

I think this was a great find, mainly for the view and the communication with the host. The apartment itself is clean and well-equipped. I will give a couple of warnings, however, and these are not to be taken as flaws, only observations. If you are over six feet tall, the steps to the bedroom and the ceiling for the bedroom itself may be problematic. My brother is over 6'7" (I got hosed; I'm 5'8"). I always think, "could my brother stay here?" when I travel. The stairs, top ceiling, and shower stall would be trouble for him. Also, if you have limitations on stairs due to age or medical reasons,this may not be the the best place for you. Quentin was a great host and I would return anytime.
