I spent a month in this apartment and had the loveliest time. Herve is a gracious and helpful host, I had no trouble whatsoever either with the check-in or during my stay. The apartment is fair-sized and has everything you might need for a short to medium-term stay, including cooking utensils and an ample number of towels, detergents, etc. It is surprisingly warm in cold weather (even without heating, which it also has) and cool in hot weather. There is a lot of light from the three windows (which can be properly covered during the night), and the street outside is quiet enough. The small balcony is one of the best features - don't forget to enjoy breakfast or dinner there with a view of Paris roofs. The area is fantastic: it is almost the centre of Paris - you can walk to any places of interest in the city (Notre Dame, the Botanic garden and Hotel de Ville are just a ten-minute walk away) but if you don't want to go on foot, the metro station is just a few steps away. There are several supermarkets, fruit stalls, bakeries and take-away shops very close by as well as numerous restaurants (and don't forget the Bastille Sunday market or the morning market at Place d'Aligre). In short, this is one of the best places I've stayed in Paris in and I would love to return there some day. Thank you, Herve!
