Pierre takes real pleasure in being a host. He provided detailed instructions on reaching his apartment, met us when we arrived, and confirmed by sms that all was well during our stay of 8 nights. Pierre's apartment is well furnished, has a modern bathroom and kitchen, and a very comfortable bed. It is very quiet because it is on the inner courtyard but is only 2 minutes from the Gobelins Metro, the newspaper kiosk and one of the better bakeries. The neighbours were quiet and friendly when we met them. We will try to stay with Pierrre next time.
