My reservation and online experience was handled by Florence. However, she was out of town during my stay in Paris, so her husband Olivier hosted myself and my friend. Florence was an excellent communicator and responded quickly to my requests and questions. My reservation changed from one to two persons a few days before my stay and Florence and Olivier gracefully accommodated this last minute change of plans.

I had a great time at Florence and Olivier's. The apartment is a classic building, around the corner from UNESCO and the Eiffel Tower. There is a delicious pattiserie on the corner, as well as a public swimming pool within a 10 minutes walk of the apartment building (which was great after the patisserie). The apartment is literally just around the corner from the Eiffel Tower, and only a 20-min walk from the Trocadero. Metro stops, Taxis and Uber cars can be found nearby to get you to the rest of the city.

The apartment building is beautiful, with well preserved classic features -- 3 person elevator, repurposed building materials from the World's Fair at which the Eiffel Tower was unveiled. The building is however, very quiet in the evening and at night. Olivier described this as bourgeois. I have to admit that I found it a little stifling, as it's a little annoying to tiptoe into the building and the house after a night out — but maybe that's exactly what he meant!

Florence and Olivier are lovely hosts. I will definitely recommend them to friends visiting Paris.
