Everything was just exactly as described. We had a wonderful time in Paris and Alex was a great host, providing all the info and support we needed. The place is very clean and complete, with a really great location. One block from Chatelet and Les Halles, two stations that will get you wherever you want easily. If you like to walk, the location is even better. You go to one side and you'll reach the Marais in less then 5min, other side and you get to the Louvre in 10min. Or try going towards the Senne and you'll be there in 5min too. Very secure place and neighborhood. The only thing I could tell that could be a problem for some people is that the building doesn't have an elevator. But for that was not a great issue at all, as the apartment is just on the 3rd floor. Highly recomended!
