Olivier is a great host, and his flat is an ideal place to stay in Paris. It's on the 3rd (American 4th) floor of a nice apartment building with a lift...and a supermarket on the ground floor. There are some fantastic boulangeries/patisseries/brasseries/cafes in the neighborhood, and it's a quick 5 minute walk to a metro station with 2 lines. There's excellent shopping on Rue de Commerce nearby. Olivier sent a note checking in on us after the first night to make sure we had everything we needed -- the apartment has a large shower and a nice little kitchen in which to cook and eat like a Parisian. I will be staying here again next time I come to Paris!
