We had a wonderful stay at Natasha's apartment. The apartment was quite big and a great way to spend several days in Paris with our group of 6. Could easily have fit another 2 as there was a bedroom that went completely unused. Max, who manages the property for Natasha, met us on time as expected and the maid service kept the apartment clean. Neighborhood, close to the Opera, is a good location for those who want to be within a 5-10 minute walk of the Louvre and the Tuileries. It does tend to be a more touristy area as a result. The only negatives about the apartment were no air conditioning (not a huge problem for us given the temps were reasonable outside and I'm guessing most places in Paris don't have it anyway) and the street the apartment is on is very loud at just about all hours.
