The apartment is larger than the pictures show, and for a couple it is quite spacious. The bedroom has a double bed in which we slept very well. The apartment is clean and tidy, and it is equipped with all the things you could need. Because it opens onto a closed courtyard, it is very quiet and feels safe. The location is perfect in the middle of Paris! You can walk to many of the places you want to see. If you want to go farther, there are several metro stations nearby. About 5-10 minutes away is a Monoprix food store, where we did our grocery shopping. Gilles greeted us in a friendly way, taking the time to show us the apartment. We had a great stay in Paris and hope to return soon. We would love to stay at Gilles apartment again, and we would recommend it to anyone visiting Paris!
