first off, the listing is exactly as advertised — from cleanliness to quietness to spaciousness and location, etc.
François was an excellent host in every way — friendly and welcoming, quick, helpful communication before, during, and after my stay. he was already waiting when I arrived, gave a tour of the apartment and took the time to offer extensive recommendations on what to eat, where to go, what to do. (don't fret about writing anything down, however, François has everything printed out in a very handy guide.) he quickly helps you feel like / become a (temporary) local.
there were nice, thoughtful touches: complimentary tea and coffee (with milk in the fridge, if desired), a fresh bouquet of flowers in a vase on the kitchen table. the bed was comfortable. the temperature control was easy to use and worked quickly (I stayed during a colder late winter / early spring). I didn't get a chance to use the outdoor space much due to the weather, but the kitchen is above-average stocked for all your dine-in and cooking needs.
a heads up to any light sleepers — the bedroom faces the street. however, during my stay, it was surprisingly quiet save for the hush of cars driving by (no honking, too) and I slept soundly. the location is very central, right on a popular boulevard. that being said, I didn't stay for the weekend but I was told it can get lively then. but it's close enough to basically everything / anything you could imagine or need.
all in all, the apartment was just like the photos. clean, sunny, spacious, well-maintained. would highly recommend François' place.
