A very convenient spot to stay close to Pompidou centre. Charles was exceptionally good at staying in touch, spoke great English and was kind enough to let us check our luggage in early as we had bikes. The stairs are a bit daunting for "older knees" but the building is full of charm and the position of the apartment means no street noise. I suggest Charles leaves instructions for the washing machine TV and microwave for foreigners like me who don't understand French machines. We really enjoyed our stay.
