Location is fantastic. The view from the balcony is reminiscent of a romantic French film. We enjoyed taking the elevator to the 5th floor and walking the spiral staircase up to the apartment. Bernard's communications were terrific and offered additional information which was very useful even though I have visited Paris often. We enjoyed the view of the roof of Opera Garnier from the balcony over looking Intercontinental Grand Hotel & Hotel Scribe which for over several hundred US dollars per night overlooked our building. We found the apartment very accommodating for two people. We will defiantly stay at Bernard's apartment again on our next trip to Paris.
