Antoine is an attentive and flexible host. Originally, our flight was to get into Paris very early in the morning and he said we could leave our luggage off, even though check-in is usually later. When our flight was, in fact, 4 hours late getting to Paris, he told us not to worry and he was there to receive us when we finally arrived, gave us a thorough tour of the space, and oriented us to the neighborhood. The apartment perfectly accommodated our family of five adults (two couples and one single person), all of whom like to cook. The kitchen is large and well-equipped. The appliances (stove/oven/dishwasher/fridge) are first-rate and there are plenty of dishes, glasses, and pots. The bedrooms have comfortable beds and ample clothes storage. The living room and dining room are great gathering spots, with tons of light streaming through the full-length windows. The floors are old wood and a bit fragile (no shoes permitted on them). There is one large full bath and another separate shower room--and then a toilet down the hall. The narrow shower room might be a bit of a squeeze for some, but we managed just fine. The street was quiet--at least in winter with the windows closed. Only a few blocks away are marvelous shops and restaurants. Our visit occurred during the Paris strike and the Metro was closed, but we could still walk to many sites. We felt lucky to have found a charming and spacious apartment in a vibrant and centrally located part of Paris.
