Romain was a fantastic host. We kept in touch before we arrived and he provided good directions to the apartment. He met us when we arrived and spent almost an hour showing us around the apartment and giving us advice on restaurants, the neighborhood and things to see. Staying with Romain is like having your own personal concierge. We communicated via text message and Romain was happy to answer any questions we had usually within a few minutes. He also has organized a host of guides to various attractions and restaurants including his favorites in the neighborhood and his suggestions were excellent.

The apartment perfect for two people. A cozy one bedroom with everything you need and Romain went out of his way to make you welcome, fresh flowers, bottle of wine and all the basics if you chose to cook a meal. The bed is very comfortable. It is quiet facing an inner courtyard but when you step out on to the street you are in the center of Paris surrounded by shops and restaurants on narrow streets full of people.

If you want a very comfortable apartment for 2 in the center of Paris with a great host for considerably less than a hotel, I would highly recommend a haven of peace in Paris. We would definitely stay again. My only caution is that it is a "first floor" apartment by the European definition, what in the USA would probably be called a second floor apartment. The building was built in the 1830's and has a steep winding staircase up to the apartment. Romain would certainly help you with getting your luggage up and down but if you are handicapped or older and would have difficulty climbing a flight of stairs this may not be the best option for you.
