Our stay in Paris in early July was a very memorable one. We were greeted by David who not only showed us the ins and outs of his apartment but he also opened up a metro map to show us the location of his favourite spots.

We arrived during an extended heat wave and luckily David's apartment came furnished with two fans to stay cool. One thing to remember is the trade off in being in a very central location is that the noise levels outside are high if the windows are kept open in an attempt to cool off.

Other reviewers mentioned construction, we were out sightseeing during the whole day, so this was not an issue for us.
