The location of the apartment is fantastic as you are very close walking distance to Opera and the Louvre. We loved being only 5 minutes away from the Louvre. The apartment is clean and even though the bed is a futon, it is actually comfortable. Even with degenerative arthritis in my spine I could sleep comfortably on the bed. There are some issues with the apartment however. The photo's of the bathroom do not accurately show how extremely tiny the bathroom is. I'm a small 5'4 120lb lady and I could not turn around in the bathroom with the door shut. One night I clocked my hip on the sink as I was getting out of the shower, that is how small the bathroom is. Also, the shower stall fills rapidly with water as the drain is clogged. I will say that when I messaged Philippe's intermediary Pierre, he did respond quickly and sent someone out that day to try to fix the clogged drain. The apartment looks out on a very busy street where there is quite a bit of noise all day and night, but the window does a remarkable job of silencing it all when closed. Overall we had a great time in Paris and enjoyed being able to stay so close to the Louvre and several metro lines.
