We had a great experience at Gilbert's apartment. Although we did not meet him his friend Victor was really nice and welcoming. Gilbert was very efficient in answering questions and solving a problem we had with the living room a/c. The location is perfect and right in the middle of Paris and close to attractions. This apartment is better suited for 4 people rather than 6 even though there was a mattress in the floor to accommodate 6. The flat is really nice once inside, but the building 5th floor needs some upkeep. Over all a very nice Parisian experience!
