Guido's apartment is a microcosm of Paris. You will find a large flat full of art and design books. He offers pretty comfortable and well designed pieces of furniture to relax in. With the aesthetic in the flat, your eyes will learn how to look at the world.
Guido greeted me with a bottle of champagne and was always ready to answer any questions.

The living room has three large windows with no obstruction which lets the light get in. The bedroom is in the back and is very quiet since it gives into the courtyard. It has a bathroom with a large bath and a very comfortable shower with enough water pressure, something a bit rare in Paris.
The location of the flat is central, walking distance to Louvre, les Invalides, Faubourg St Honore', Marais and many other attractions. It is a short walking distance to a street closed to cars that is full of small shops and restaurants. It has some famous cheese shops and boulangeries along with boutiques and restaurants. The neighborhood is warm, full of small bistros and has more of a Parisian feel than the 7th arrondissement for example. If you have a heavy luggage, you will need to get up two flights of stairs.
