We had an excellent experience with this property. Cecile is a good man who communicates thoroughly, efficiently, and effectively and does what he says he will do. The apartment was clean, neat, and enjoyable, with comfortable bed and pull-out couch. The location is outstanding for tourists like us, 3 minute walk to Hotel du Ville Metro station with bakery on corner, small grocer down the street, and several restaurants immediately nearby. The apartment is on the 3rd floor, and noise from the street was not objectionable at all. Yes, the stair is a narrow winding stair but this isn't a big deal if known (we did). The kitchen was a nice convenience, as was the clothes washer and dryer. The dryer requires a long time to dry clothes, which you should know, but it's effective for small loads. Cecile has arranged for the phone in the apartment to be available toll free for local calls as well as calls to land lines in some other countries (like US), which is great. I had expected built-in air conditioning based on my (incorrect) understanding. Instead, there are portable/floor-standing units upstairs and downstairs with exhaust hoses that must be stuck outside the respective window and the window sashes tied together. There is a gap and cool air escapes, which struck me as objectionable initially but it was effective so I can't really say that it's a problem. Cecile has a great driver named Phillipe who is a very nice man and dependable; we used for out airport return early AM and recommend. I believe you will be very pleased with this apartment for your time in Paris.
