highly, highly recommend Louis' apartment!
Excellent location, 15-25 min walk to Les Halles, Louvre, and the Marais, plus there are 3 metro lines a block away! Also, the neighborhood is lively and has tons of great restaurants and people around. Yet the apartment itself is inside a courtyard, so pretty quiet.
This is Louis' home, which I like, because the furnishings and amenities were much better than AirBnBs that are just rentals. The bed is very comfortable if you like slightly firm, the shower is modern and large, the kitchen also is modern and perfectly organized. You'll want to relax all day in the living room too.
Yes, the apartment is on the 5th floor (that's American 6th floor) with no elevators. There's 5 flights of rounded stairs, for a total of 90 steps (yup, I counted). but honestly if my 70-year-old mom with some knee problems could do it twice a day, most people will have no problem. I kind of loved the workout. more pastries!
Last, Louis is incredible and communicates very quickly. He is one of the best hosts I've had. He was even there when we arrived to help with our suitcase.
Thanks Louis for the wonderful stay!
