We had an exceptional stay at Cedric's flat. My experience is that this is the gold standard of all AirBnB stays. Even after staying at 4 and 5 star hotels, I would be hard pressed to find another place that took care of us better.

The flat is exactly as it looks in the picture except that when you are there you can appreciate the consideration and design to ensure all the modern comforts. It is clean, uncluttered, but still has custom touches to make you feel at home. It's a great suite for people who want to cook (everything you need in a kitchen), unwind after a long day of seeing the sights with some music (great BOSE sound system), upload their pictures (fast reliable internet), and get romantic (mood lighting). The bed and the couch were both very comfortable to sleep. His shower, is very cool and enjoyable to use.

The location is very good, only a few steps to Metro, and a short walk to the best district in Paris, Le Marais. We arrived from London on the Gare du Nord and it only took a short 5 min metro ride, and 2 min walk to arrive. Very easy! You are not in the thick of tourist land, but it's not hard to get to where you need to go quickly.

We had a nice drink at the bar under the building one night, and dinner at the brasserie across the street the next, and they were both good. We found a great homemade/handpulled noodle joint around the corner - Happy Nouilles and also a sweet family run Vietnamese place. Cheap eats!

We felt extremely welcome, like we were staying with *very good* friends. Cedric considerately took the time to make a welcome guidebook customized specifically to my request to know about local, non-touristy, foodie Paris complete with directions, maps, etc and also had put out a welcome basket of groceries to make our arrival more comfortable.

Cedric's communication was friendly, quick and enthusiastic. He was available to be reached on many different methods - SMS, email, Viber, What'sApp, etc. He is a super nice guy and so eager to please. We look forward to visiting with Cedric again.

I can't think of anything he could have done better. Thank you for having us.
