The flat is located in a bustling tourist area near Notre Dame on the Left Bank with many bars below, so there is late evening noise and smells that drift up if the windows are open. The beds are very comfortable. As mentioned in other posts, there are many stairs (common in Europe) and they are very narrow in the flat itself. The host is very kind and helpful. We were greeted by Christophe, a friend of the host, and he was lovely. We have stayed in many other, less expensive flats in Paris before, and felt this was a high price for the size and the touristy location. I'm not sure if we would stay in the area again for the price, though I can see how it's very convenient for others.
