We had a great stay at Olivier's apartment! It is near two train stations (Gare du Nord and Gare de L'Est) which is especially convenient if you plan any day trips outside of Paris. There is also easy access to multiple metro lines. I love to take the bus in Paris so that I can see the city while traveling to my destination, and because of the close proximity to the train stations you have access to about a dozen different bus routes. The apartment is much larger than anything you'll find closer to the tourist areas. There is a big living room, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and the bathroom has a full sized shower/tub with great water pressure. The apartment is on the first floor with an elevator in a secure building. It's very quiet - one night we didn't even realize that a neighbor was having a party until we opened the window for some fresh air. Olivier gave us detailed information about local restaurants and grocery stores, as well as how to use the washer/dryer, TV, etc. He was quick to respond to any questions we had before our trip and was so thorough in his instructions that we didn't end up having any additional questions after we arrived. He even sent us a link to a website that you can use to pre-order a taxi from the airport directly to the apartment. If you are traveling with two or more people it doesn’t cost much more than the train and it’s a lot more convenient.

I would definitely rent this apartment again the next time I go to Paris. If you're looking for somewhere peaceful, comfortable and quiet after a long day of sightseeing Olivier's apartment is a great choice!
