The visit to Paris was great, the location is excellent. The two rooms are very comfortable, well stocked and lovely. The room with the queen bed was quiet and had ample kitchen supplies. The living room and kitchen are separted by a common foyer area, where the hosts pass through to get to their apartment upstairs. All of the guest rooms can be individually locked. The hosts were very considerate and extremely helpful when we needed it especially when Julia helped me find a lost item. Occasionally in the living room you can hear sounds from neighboring apartments but overalll it was a quiet area. The stairs up was not a problem for us. There is so much to do and see in that locale, including access to the louvre right across the bridge and a 5 minute walk to the Orsay. We would happily stay there again.
