Alain's place is located in a very central place making it extremely easy to go anywhere. The louvre is only 1 block away and you can easily take the metro everywhere you might want to go. The apartement is as pictured, very clean and modern. The location is on a busy street yet the apartment was nice and quiet. Check in was very easy, and Alain was very easy to communicate with. The stairs to the apartment (4th floor) are spiral and narrow enough that carrying a great big suit case might be a challenge.
