My friend and I felt very fortunate to be able to stay for a whole week! Richard’s flat is beautifully outfitted and in the perfect location next to the Louvre. There is a gorgeous church right outside the window and in the afternoon you can hear the organist and choir practice. Though it is centrally located, the side street that the flat looks down onto is very quiet at night. I was a little nervous about the pull out couch but slept comfortably. There are quite a few stairs you have to climb. It was no problem for us even though we had gigantic bags with us (though I will say I was glad we only had to carry them up and down once), but it might be difficult for elderly guests. All in all, I highly recommend staying here if you can. I hope to be able to again one day!
