This was a great place to stay. It's a fantastic location just a block from the major Chatelet metro/train station, and you can walk to a million places without even getting on the metro. It was so much fun to be able to go downstairs and be right in the middle of hundreds of restaurants and shops. The apartment is charming and very light and bright, and just big enough for two people to share for 10 days without driving each other crazy. The elevator was much appreciated, though I tried to take the 97 steps at least once a day. The other really nice touch was the detailed French and English instructions for all the appliances and the neighborhood info. Phillipe was a wonderful host and lives right there in the building so we even got very quick help the one time we locked ourselves out. The apartment was also very very quiet (a bit surprising in such a crowded area).
