Although we did not meet Polo, he made sure all of our requirements were dealt with quickly and efficiently. The apartment was very comfortable, and was stocked with all the essentials (although we could not find an ironing board). It was very centrally located and we could walk to just about everywhere (Louvre 30 in minutes, Notre Dame in 18 minutes, Hotel de Ville underground station in 7 minutes). The apartment was on a very lively street with a bistro/cafe directly across the narrow street, and high end boutiques beside and throughout the neighbourhood.

I would be remiss if I did not mention a couple of details however. The loft area, although comfortable, has VERY low ceilings. I am 5'4" and had to hunch over the whole time I was up there. I felt like Quasimodo by the end of the week. I also mentioned the bistro/cafe across the street; it is pretty rowdy until about 1:30 am every night ... Sundays and work nights included. At about 2:00 am, the emptying of the recycling bins for bottles and glass happen. If you are use to crashing bottles, loud laughter, and motorcycles, this will not a problem. The loft area can get very warm (we were there at the beginning of May) because did not want to open the windows due to the noise from outside. There is a skylight in the loft space, but should not be opened if there is any chance of rain.

Other than that, this was a great stay. We felt safe, and because of all the stairs to get to the apartment we came home with buns of steel. Definitely worth the price to rent. Polo was a great communicator and a pleasure to correspond with.
