We had a great time staying in Ahmed's apartment. The place was a little smokey inside but everything else was great. Ahmed was very communicative and the apartment was just as described. The view of the city was excellent--from the kitchen we could see the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and other prominent Paris sights. We enjoyed being just a few feet away from the public transit system and that made it very easy to travel all over Paris. Would highly recommend people to stay here.
