Ahh Paris, the things we go through to see you. How to begin, the location is great. 2nd arrondissement, near tons of local shops, cafes, and Etienne Marcel station. A+ convenience. The flat was as described, be prepared to climb narrow stairwells (typical for Europe) following Francisco's well documented instructions. Those with heavy luggage, bring muscles or leave the guidebooks at home. The flat itself is on the top floor, with a loft setup. Be aware the flat is very compact, just enough for two people with luggage. Combo toilet shower setup was interesting. You can take a #2 while putting your feet up on the couch. The loft portion was more comfortable, with a solid mattress. It definitely did the job, and at a great price for Paris. Francesco's neighbor Lucky was there to greet us, and was quick to help us with a new hair dryer when the provided stopped functioning. Overall, solid experience for the price and location. If you're claustrophobic or need more space for luggage, you'll probably need to pay more.
