Olivier's apartment was perfect. The location was unbeatable -- Chatelet metro station just steps away. Numerous restaurants and cafes Close by as well (including a simple trattoria run by a Poruguese family that served some of the best pizza I've ever had -- and I'm Italian! Yet, the apartment is quiet and Rue des Halles is not a major thoroughfare such that there is noise from traffic. The apartment itself is wonderfully appointed and comfortable. We were three, but the apartment could easily accommodate six. Also, all the rooms were quite spacious -- a rarity for Paris. The fact that there are two and a half bathrooms is an added bonus for a larger group looking to get moving in the morning as efficiently as possible. Olivier himself was the perfect host and very accommodating. No glitches; no problems. Highly recommended!
