We really enjoyed our stay at Bernard's apartment. We were met by Bernard's representative and he showed us through explaining where and how things operated and gave us maps etc and information for our stay. The apartment was as listed. Everything was clean and fresh and although small and compact we had everything we required and we were very comfortable. There is a lift to to 5th floor and then steps up to the 6th floor which is where the apartment is located. The passageway is quite old and delapidated and we were a little uncertain as to what we were going into but the other apartments on the floor seem to be being renovated so perhaps the state of the passageway will be temporary. Once in the apartment it was fine. We were very happy with the location. From our window we could see over to the roof of the wonderful Opera House, opposite the Cafe La Paix and close to some wonderful shopping stores ie Galerie Lafayette. Many restaurants in the area and a short walking distance to Place de la Concorde and Champs Élysées. A metro nearby and the Roissy Bus to the airport. We would definitely like to return to this area of Paris on a future visit and would happily return to Bernard's apartment if available.
