Shawn is a gracious host who clearly wants you to have an enjoyable stay in Paris. The location is wonderful: safe, close to museums, shopping and cafes, with a very Parisian atmosphere. It was just the right size for my daughter and me. As with many of the sights, the ability to climb stairs is important for this classic upstairs apartment. The kitchen is not really conducive for cooking full meals, which is a great reason to partake in the many delightful cafes and bakeries nearby. When we return to Paris, we will want to stay in Shawn's apartment again.
