Xavier’s magnificent apartment is just steps away from one of the most vibrant pedestrian streets in Paris (Rue Montorguell). However, due to its inner courtyard location, it is as quiet as a country retreat. The apartment itself is a testament to Xavier’s obvious love of travelling and his personal understanding of what makes a ‘home away from home’. The décor is superb, and the furnishings particularly comfortable – especially the queen-size bed. The kitchen is well appointed, which is a bonus when you have so many fresh produce outlets at your doorstep. Xavier also thoughtfully provides a range of basic condiments, oils, tea and coffee, which makes the initial settling in so much easier. Fabulous hot water, a great heating system, and even a range of DVDs to watch during relaxation time add to the overall cosiness of the apartment. Xavier is a lovely and attentive host, who proactively enquired to our comfort and requirements at every step of the communication process, from initial booking, right through to post-checkout. My (adult) daughter and I had the pleasure of staying at this outstanding residence for 10 days, and it made our Paris trip truly memorable for all the right reasons. A most wonderful experience. Thank you Xavier.
