My wife, two teens, and I spent 4 nights in Stephan and Marina's comfortable apt. The pictures accurately depict the space and condition of the apt. It looked to be recently renovated. We had ample room for the four of us and the beds were very comfortable. The location and neighborhood were fantastic. Everything was nearby or at your doorstep: trendy cafes, grocery shopping, tourist sites, and transportation. We even felt safe walking around at 1:00 a.m. Like someone else mentioned, Stephan provided a comprehensive how-to guide for the apartment, a where-to guide for their local neighborhood, and a visitor's guide for Paris attractions. We dined at their favorite restaurant and loved it. Communication with Stephan was super quick and efficient. He accommodated our late arrival time and our late departure time. We never met him but he had two friends waiting for us who were equally friendly and welcoming. The apt. is a 5th floor walk-up so you need to be in good shape :) We thoroughly enjoyed our time in his apt. and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to our friends.
