We had a great time in Paris and Paolo's apartment is as central as it could be. It's the perfect place for visiting the city by foot or public transportation with lots of services, cafes, restaurants and markets nearby. The house is beautifuly decorated and clean, we stayed there with our two kids. Paolo was an excellent host too. The only downside for those staying at weekends is noise. Paris likes to party hard at Fridays and Saturdays nigh. Although the apartment has double windows, you can still hear the street noise, which can be a problem if you have a light sleep. It wasn't a problem for our kids though ;) I recomend this place, would stay there again.
