The apartment was ideal for exploring Paris. It was well designed, just as described in the photos, with all the creature comforts. It was on the ground floor (easy for transporting luggage) but very secure (entry through a locked door on the street, into a courtyard, and another locked door into the flat) and also very quiet. The location was great, with the Louvre one block away. Stephane was very responsive to any requests or questions we had, and worked hard to make sure our stay was pleasant. We will definitely return the next time we are in Paris.
