We were a family of 5 adults so it was essential that we had enough space to lay our stuff around and move and sit around the flat as well as be able to cook and come together at the table. Fabrizio's place met all these expectations. It is a well-lived and loved place so it's easy to find things especially in preparing a meal or picnic. The flat isn't sparkling clean but it is very lovely and certainly has its charms. It's very centrally located, easy access to shopping and food on Rue Rivoli, metro (Saint-Paul, Pont Marie & Sully-Morland) and most importantly the Seine. Beware of the no lift situation. It wasn't a problem for us and actually by day 3 or 4 you can see a significant improvement in climbing the stairs, even with my almost 60 year-old parents! Great stay and totally recommended. Thanks Fabrizio!
