Gisele and Herve were outstanding hosts. The communication with Herve was very easy as he speaks English and French. The apartment was spotless and had all the amenities. The apartment is exactly as described except is HAS a washer (which at the time, description only listed a dryer) The location is a little oasis of calm in the bustling city and yet very walkable to everything. the metro st. paul is right around the corner. if you go, try the restaurant, Chez Mademoiselle, perhaps 100 yards away, excellent food and very nice staff. We have been to Paris many times but on this visit we decided to take our elderly mother. This apartment was perfect as it has an elevator and no steps. it even has a handicap friendly bathroom. The apartment is best suited to a couple traveling with one or two singles. Or two couples and one single. There is a pullout sofa in the living room which probably would accommodate two. I highly recommend this apartment.
