Even though we never met Yves, he appears to be a very nice fellow. He was very communicative and helpful. The location is very nice, a part of Paris which I like very much. There are a lot of restaurants on the street below, and my husband was bothered by the fumes from cooking. I was bothered by a few mosquitoes. Although there were not many, they were ravenous and I got more than several bites. There are no screens on the windows. Yves quickly got some mosquito repellant, which was very kind of him. It may have helped a little, but not entirely. The shower is beautiful and works perfectly. Plenty of hot water.
