The apartment was exactly as pictured - clean and well cared for with lots of homely touches. Set back from the main road so very quite and safe. Better value for money than other listings as it was a generous sized flat with a living area, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom (although the toilet is separate) and double bedroom. Great location with short walk to nearest metro stations and bike stops, very near to Bastille. The only negative things are that the living area smelt very smoky (but then we are non-smokers!) and it is on the third floor with no lift, which could be difficult if you had big bags or poor mobility.

Gerard was a good host. He was flexible with timings and met us at the flat, gave us some useful advice about the area and gave a tour of the flat. Checkout was really easy too. He had left some orange juice in the fridge and provided all the essential things like washing liquid, soap, towels etc. Any problems and he only lives opposite.

We are very happy with out stay here and would definitely recommend Gerard and this flat.
