After our previous booking was unceremoniously canceled two weeks prior to our visit, my husband and I were scrambling to find an apartment for our trip to Paris. We found Bernard's place, in the 6th, and booked it. Before we arrived, he was very responsive and helpful, and was at the apartment when we got in, jet-legged and bleary-eyed. The apartment is beautiful -- spacious, airy and beautifully decorated. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and the free Wi-Fi was great for chilling out after our daytime "power touring" all over Paris.

The bed -- two twins pushed together -- was plenty big enough for me and my husband, who's 6'3. And the bedroom has ample storage for all your stuff, and the bathroom was right off the bedroom. The WC was off the living room, but I didn't find that to be inconvenient. The washer/dryer was great to have, though I had to use Google translate to figure it out. :)

The little neighborhood where the apartment is located has tons of boutiques, restaurants, crepe stands, etc. Rue de Buci and Rue Saint-André des Artes are jumping most hours of the day, although the street where the apartment is located is very quiet. Speaking of location -- the apartment was close to Notre Dame and the Louvre, and within a short walk to two Métro stops.

In all, a wonderful stay at a beautiful, centrally located place and a perfect 10th wedding anniversary present to ourselves. Merci, Bernard!
