Ferdinand was very responsive to our requests prior to coming, and when we got delayed arriving had his very charming father meet us. He provided map and information for Paris. The apt was clean and the view from the small balconies was amazing. But the apt is very small, there is a bare minimum of utensils and it was quite hot while we were there (no AC of course.) The apt is on the 6th floor with 114 stairs up a very narrow spiral staircase, so could be problematic for some. Also this is a very noisy area which was somewhat disruptive to getting a good night's sleep. However, the location was great with close access to restaurants and the Metro and like I already said, the view of the city was awesome.
