We arrived in Paris for a 14 day stay and found Gilbert's place to meet all of our expectations. Great location, central to the historic area, the Opera Metro station just steps from the door with many lines to chose from for exploring the city. A short walk to the Louvre, Place Vendome, Place de Concorde, steps from the Opera. We felt very safe and secure. The building had two coded entry points and two additional keyed entry points. The Kitchen was well appointed. The sleeping areas are in two separate areas so two couples have total privacy. Sharing the single toilet was not an issue during out 14 day stay. I highly recommend this apartment!
