Awesome location, just a short walk to the Louvre & very close to 2 Velib bicycle stations. Can cycle to the Eiffel Tower within half an hour which is free on the bikes. I would recommend the bikes as you get to see much more of Paris. Register online, as it will debit €150 each time you create a new 24hr valid card from the machines, but not if you register online. I used the bikes for 3 days & it only costs €1.70 the whole time.

As all the reviews state the apt is small, tiny in fact. We were 3 people, however we are all very close, not ideal for strangers or people you don't know so well, & a perfect place for 1 person. The bathroom facilities are small, so you have to change outside & if 3 people are bathing each day, the damp smell can hang around for a while.

We were only given 1 set of keys which meant, that a lot of coordination needed to be made, as we each had seperate agendas. I would recommend requesting more keys before booking, if you think you will need it.

A short walk to the metro, which makes it ideal, don't be fooled by people or touts asking you to come to the nearby restaurants. Romantically I thought all food in Paris would be fantastic, I was wrong. Lots of places to eat nearby but not all are great.

The neighbourhood is very safe & probably more upmarket, so don't worry about the location, because its perfect.

We did not get to meet the host, as he was also on holiday, however he was very responsive to our requests & replied to us in a reasonable amount of time.
