A very nice apartment in a really great location - in the heart of Paris, near to the metro, to shops and restaurants, and round the corner from the rue Montorgueil, one of the most famous food streets in the city. It has lots of character and is well equipped with a nice sitting room which includes a proper kitchen and a dining space with a good-sized table, good wifi, a separate bedroom and a bathroom. It's worth noting that it's right at the top of the building and there is no lift (and the bedroom is up a further flight of steep stairs). This was no problem to me but it may make it unsuitable for people who have a problem with stairs or who have particularly heavy luggage. Small downsides which led me to give it 4 stars not 5 were: contact with the host was difficult until the last minute, which gave me some pre-departure anxiety (although when I was in Paris he was very attentive); although the water pressure is amazingly good you can't actually have a proper shower as it's impossible to stand up in the bath, which is positioned in a part of the bathroom with a low ceiling; some aspects of the cleanliness - for example the bed sheets - were less than perfect. None of these points in the end spoiled a very nice stay.
