Louise was a gracious host. The apartment is in a fabulous location and in the midst of all the activity, hustle bustle, shopping and dining in Paris. However, be prepared to bring ear plugs as it is on a very busy street and without A/C so either suffocate or leave the windows open and deal with the noise. The revelry ended around 2:00 Pm and the garbage trucks began the banging around 6:00 so 4 hours rest is about what we got.
