Me, my husband and two teenage daughters stayed in Ben's beautiful apartment in January 2013. Ben gave us very easy to follow directions to the apartment (it was a 5 minute walk from the metro station) and he was there to greet us when we arrived. The apartment is very comfortable - newly renovated and with a great vibe. There is a separate bedroom and the girls had the (very comfortable) sofa bed in the living room.

The location is perfect - only a 200 metre walk to Notre Dame and in easy walking distance to many of the sights. The metro is nearby and easy to get around if you need to travel a little further.

There are lots of good restaurants in the area, including one at the bottom of the stairs and another right opposite the building.

We had a great time in Ben's beautiful apartment and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to come to Paris. The only thing you may want to consider is it is up 5 floors and no lift - we did not find this to be a problem at all, the view from the living room was certainly worth it!

Thanks Ben!
