Matthieu was the best host you could ask for!! He met us when we got there and explained many places and things to do around paris. He offered the best suggestions and was available during our stay if we needed anything. He definitely went above and beyond as a host. The apartment was in a non-tourist part of town with lost of restaurants and great local market on street. Street was very buys, but apartment was very quiet. The pictures are exactly as apartment is and it was all VERY nice. Bathroom and shower for very spacious and looked brand new. You have to duck when you go upstairs to the loft bed, but that didnt bother me or my 6' tall husband... made it more of a unique experience. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting paris.
