Benoit was excellent at communicating with me and was most patient with me for my change of plans and all the questions I had as a first time airbnb user. He

The place was pretty much exactly the way it was described in the airbnb profile. The building and flat are a somewhat quirky shape, but it was more than enough for 2 people, though 4 people who know each other well could easily spend a comfortable few days here.

The neighbourhood is quiet - especially considering we stayed there over a long bank holiday weekend in August when most locals seemed to have left the city - but there are good bakeries and restaurants right around the corner. And of course the Palais Royal is less than a minute's walk from the doorstep, with the Louvre only 5 minutes beyond that.

It was the little things that made our stay really good, though: the well-supplied kitchen and Benoits pointers toward the nearest supermarkets (with opening times) were excellent!
