Paolo's place was great. He is very organized (with a "welcome folder," that has info on local places and transport) - and the apartment is VERY centrally located in a cool neighborhood with lots of things to do. I couldn't be happier with out blissful 4 nights in Paris at Paolo's place. Note: If you arrive by car or taxi on a Sunday, some of the streets leading to Paolo's place are closed to traffic (pedestrians and bicycles only) - so plan accordingly.
