This is a fantastic retreat after a busy day touring Paris. It is very close to the train station and therefore easy to explore this city. Benjamin was very easy to deal with and his home is exactly as he states. It is a wonderful place with everything you need to feel right at home. We didn't get to meet Benjamin but his neighbor Anida showed us around and we managed despite the language difference. We had a family with 4 children and we felt the apartment was the perfect size. My only comment would be to realise you are staying in the city and that sometimes comes with street noise when staying in summer and enjoying the evening breezes. The neighborhood is a busy one but the people are all helpful and the neighbors are very quiet. I say this not as a criticism but to ensure people know this when staying in such a convenient location and such a well equipped apartment. Loved this place and would definitely stay again.
