Mathieu's apartment is a spacious and understatedly elegant flat. It is sparsely decorated, with books lining the walls of almost every room, giving it a professorial vibe. It is located in a busy neighborhood with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. There are two bedrooms -- one that sleeps two in a roomy bed and another that sleeps two on a futon. The futon-room doubles as an office. The eat-in kitchen has a dishwasher and a nice sized refrigerator. As well, you'll find a washer/dryer unit. The bathroom is large and sports a soaker tub as well as a shower. The toilet is in a very small room across the hall. There is a lovely living room and a gracious dining room which includes some pretty stained glass windows. The pictures posted on airbnb are very true to what you'll find if you stay in this roomy apartment. Two things a guest may wish to know: #1 This is Mathieu's primary residence and all of his personal belongings are there. #2 The street is quite noisy which shouldn't be a problem if you keep the windows closed. However, if it's warm, you'll want to open the windows (no air conditioning) which can make conversation and sleeping difficult due to noise. We didn't have an opportunity to meet Mathieu in person as he was away on business. However, he is excellent at communicating through email and he made sure his friend was there to greet us and his girlfriend was there to see us off. We had a nice experience staying in his Parisian home.
