The host, frank, was extremely helpful on arrival, gave us tips where to go, provided us with help all through our five day stay. The apartment is in easy walking distance to the centre of town, about 15 minutes to the louvre. It is also only 150 metres to the nearest metro station, Parmentier. There are heaps of cheap eats and bars within a stone throw. It’s not the ritz but it was spacious and the king size bed was a winner. I will definitely go back there if visiting Paris again.
