Hard to fault the location or the host. Great communication even when we had an issue with a lost key at 10pm! Easy reach t the subway nearby (Les Halles / Etienne Marcel) and plenty places to buy food from (across the road) and restaurants are good. Would particularly recommend the Lebanese restaurant next door -- great quality and authentic. No need to use taxis -- just walk or use the subway. Apartment is good but not really big enough for 4 adults (we were only 2 adults and a 6 year old and that was just about right) as there is little storage space. Anyway Paris flats are normally quite small so it was not a shock (I am from Paris originally). If you are planning to stay over a week like we do, more than 3 people will be a stretch. All works well as new: bathroom is good size; kitchen is good and functional with all necessary things to cook. Washing machine and dryer worked fine. Only the vacuum cleaner was not the best as it seemed to make more noise than cleaning. Overall, great place to stay.
