My husband and I spent a little over three days in Paris in September 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed staying at Hervé's studio apartment. First of all, he is so kind, helpful and friendly. He gave us clear directions on how to reach the apartment from the airport beforehand, and once there, recommendations of places to eat, grocery stores, etc. It's such a great location that almost anything you need is within a few minutes walk.

Even though it was a central location, we found it to be quiet, not loud from street traffic. A perfect home base for traveling to other parts of the city, either by walking or catching the metro a few minutes away.

The studio itself was pleasant and clean. It is older, but we didn't have any problems. Weather was nice so the apartment was very comfortable with the windows open. I would not hesitate to recommend Hervé as a host, as well as the apartment.
