Romain and his apartment was so perfect for our first stay in Paris. Everything was just as stated in the apartment listing. Yes there is no elevator but it was worth it to climb the stairs!
Romain met us when we arrived and even helped me with my bag. He introduced the house and let us know his favorite places to eat. He was so so so helpful (probably the most helpful host we've met yet!). The apartment was very chic and it was nice to be on the top floor looking out at all the rooftops.
As for location it could not have been more perfect. It was close to the metro so it was super easy to get around town. We love eating breakfast at the cafe immediately downstairs and the park across the street was amazing. Great place to relax on a sunny mid morning or afternoon. We were able to walk to the Louvre and Il de la Cite.
Romain's neighborhood was a great choice. Not touristy and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Pretty central. I would definitely stay there again.
