The apartment is spacious and in the perfect location. You are in the heart of Paris and close to everything. We hope to come back and stay again one day. We didn't choose to cook a meal but the apartment has a complete kitchen. The apartment also has a washing machine but we didn't have time to use it. We felt very safe in this location and the street noise was minimal. Xavier welcomed us and showed us around the apartment. He answered any questions we had and gave us his cell phone number so we could contact him. He responds promptly. We highly recommend Xavier's apartment!
