Stayed here in March 2014. Great spacious apartment and was only 20 minutes walk to the Eiffel Tower. In fact you could see it out of the window, well glimpse!! Very close to metro and a direct metro from Gard ne nord (line 4). Great little Italian at the bottom of the road which would recommend after all the walking during the day. Did not actually meet Boris but the lady (and sorry forgot her name) was fab. She spoke very little English and our French was not the best but having said that she met us at the metro and took us to the apartment. Wi if was fab and easy to access. It is cosy and clean (although do not think the fridge had been emptied for a bit as it did smell) however all else was great. Very good value for money and even better that it was spacious. Would recommend this place and while we did not meet Boris we did have contact via text and email through air B and B. Pictures are true to apartment as well, beds are hard but that is just personal taste (mine was fab!!). Also must note that while this apartment is in Central Paris it was very quiet, no traffic noise or noises neighbours, also there is a tower block building nearby by which lights up at night and flashes/pluses light which is amazing too!!
