Made to feel welcome on arrival - the host was late, but it was due to a bike accident and she paid for the beer I had bought while I was waiting! The flat is extremely central - it's easy to walk to the Louvre, Pompidou, Notre Dame etc and the Metro is very close to trips elsewhere. It's a great place to have a base in Paris. There are several pubs and bars nearby, which is great if you want to use them and eat/drink late, but a visitor with kids might want to be aware that they stay open late if you are staying at a weekend (although the sound insulation is good).
