Our host was very quick to reply to the initial request to book so it helped us make decisions in a timely manner. His instructions were clear and concise and that also made our arrival to the location quick and easy. He stopped by to give us more information. This adds to the comfort of knowing that he will be available if necessary.
His apartment was as described, nice, bright and cozy, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. It was located on the '4th floor' but for us, from the U.S, that would be the fifth floor. The elevator was a great relief from our long walks during our excursions.
The area had many little cafes as you would expect in Paris, with bakeries/pastry shops all over, including a Starbucks and a Mcdonald's for those die hard Americans who like familiarity. We also found the area to be near the Asian Quarter and so that was a plus for me, as I had my fix of Thai food- my comfort food. But then again, nothing beats a croissant with a latte...!
Overall, it was a great little vacation, and there will definitely be repeats, as this 'real Parisian apartment' made us feel so at home.
Again, thank you Pierre for hosting us.
