My friend and I stayed at boris's apartment for 5 days. the place was cozy, neat and clean, with great wifi and other amenities like washing machine, hot water... the sofa can be converted into a soft bed... so that was cool. the location is absolutely awesome!! everything is walking distance including the Louvre and Notre Dame! and if you can walk it a bit.. even the Eiffel:-). of course you don't need to walk as much if you want coz the metro/ subway is just round the corner. you can choose pubs / restaurants to go to basis your tastes as everything is available on walking distance. I would recommend the place strongly if you want to spend quality time absorbing Paris in its entirety rather than commuting to and fro and spending to many euros on cabs. many thanks to Boris for the stay! Cheers!
