This is such a perfect accommodation! It is comfortable, has an elevator, (the bed is wonderful) and is in a very convenient location -- a ten or 15 minute walk to the Louvre, the Opera, Les Halles, the Pompidou, etc. Though small, the apartment was well equipped, even offering many basics, such as condiments. Plus a lovely surprise of fancy cookies and treats greeted my arrival. There is a bus station immediately outside, and metro stations a very easy walk. You are in the midst of a bevy of restaurants of all types of cuisine, and all price ranges. Food markets are on the same street. And shopping is accessible all around! The hosts are very gracious and take great care to accommodate their guests. I never once had a problem with communication -- it was virtually instant, so I never was without an answer to any question. Mathilde and Jean-Pierre are truly the perfect hosts.
