There was absolutely perfect communication with Alain from the moment we requested the booking. His apartment is well kept and is located perfectly near the Louvre and other key sites. There are lots of restaurants, cafes and bakeries in the area. It was a pleasure to meet Alain's family (his father and sister) who were also very helpful when we had to go back for a forgotten thermos. I would highly recommend this apartment as an affordable option for those that wish to stay in the heart of Paris in a clean and safe apartment.
