What a wonderful week in Paris! Christophe had amazing communication with us as we planned our trip. While we were not able to meet him in person, his directions on where to pick up the key and locate the apartment were very clear. We are a family of four-two adults, and a son who is 14 and daughter who is 11, and this was a perfect place for us. The loft is spacious, which allowed us to spread out after a long day and the kitchen is well-stocked with anything you may need. There is a small market about three minute walk away for anything else you may need. I cannot think of anything that we needed that Christophe did not already have in the apartment or in the binder. The boulangerie across the street sells the most delicious pain au chocolat. We took abbesses metro pretty much everywhere, but we also walked from the apartment all over, because it's really only about three miles to the Eiffel Tower and about two to Concorde/Tuileries and worth the walk. If you're American, please remember to pack an outlet convertor, because the outlets are different. We've been to France numerous times so we knew, but it's something you will want to remember if you need to charge your phone or laptop and only have your normal plug. The wi-fi worked really well and we loved unwinding with some projector tv at the end of the day. If you plan to come directly from the airport, the easiest way is to use Uber. It's about 45 Euros to get into the city, which is also about the cost for the bus with less hassle. We didn't eat around the neighborhood but there's plenty there. To get really good food, avoid the Place du Tertre, which is like a tourist trap. We would definitely rent again with Christophe in his gorgeous loft.
