Staying at Rue de Rivoli 154 was a great experience. The location couldn't be better: right in front of the Rivoli metro station, facing the Louvre and close to Marais. Many historical important sites are at a walkable distance. The Rue the Rivoli is very commercial and although it is a very busy street, the apartment on the first floor is not noisy. There are many restaurants, a boulangerie and a supermarket very close to the building. We were a family of 4- a couple and two young adult sons ( 21 and 23 years old). The building facing the Louvre is an old one but has been recently renovated. The apartment was as described: one living-room combined with a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms with comfortable beds, one tiny closet for the toilet and a shower room, washer/drier, air conditioning/heating. The apartment was clean and we had all the necessary items to feel comfortable but maybe few simple items could make the life of visitors easier such as racks to rest suitcases. We were one hour late on our arrival and Eric could no wait but he arranged things so that we did not have to stay outside and when we phone him he returned quickly to welcome us. He was also very flexible with departure time which was very convenient for us since our flight was scheduled for 11PM. Eric was a great host who made us feel at home and gave us important local hints. We would certainly love to repeat this experience of staying at Rivoli 154!
