Charles and his wife were very personable and welcoming and greeted us personally when we arrived at their spacious and beautiful apartment. We were also delighted to be welcomed with a fresh bouquet of flowers and a bottle of Champagne. The apartment was just as described and seen in the photos. It is very well appointed and provides all the amenities. Its location is superb, two short blocks from the Bastille, and within walking distance of all amenities - bars, restaurants, shopping, sightseeing, including the Place des Vosges, the Georges Pompidou Centre, etc. There are three Metro lines a very short distance from the apartment, including one across from the Front Door. We were a party of two couples and were very comfortable during our stay. Our hosts were also available to assist in any way needed. We enjoyed our stay here, and highly recommend this listing.
