Charles's place is a very central place to base yourself while exploring Paris. Most attractions are not more than 30 mins away on the metro. We only had two days and Charles was fantastic with ensuring we made use of our time. Quick communication. The apartment is very clean, nicely decorated and the kids really loved the loft. The apartment is off a side street, and on the third floor. Be ready to walk up to the third floor with your luggage. The neighbourhood is very energetic and bustling. When we come back we will definitely be looking to stay here again. We didn't mind but note that with windows opened you will hear car horns slightly in the distance.
