I felt right at home. The apartment is spacious, especially for Paris. I had everything I needed, from cutlery to pots and pans, towels and blankets. The internet worked great: No TV or radio, but I had my laptop to tune into the world. Heating in living space and bathroom was adjustable and worked well. Neighbors passing by on stairs weren’t loud. Only Friday and Saturday nights the street was filled with the voices of youthful pleasure seekers. A spirited atmosphere lively and enjoyable in no way disturbing. The neighborhood is wonderful for shopping organic groceries, going to restaurants, visiting museums and galleries. I had a tremendously fruitful time, working on film research, visiting with colleagues and friends who lived nearby.
François was friendly and responsive to my needs. I’d love to return to his place again someday!
