This is now my third opportunity to stay at Brice's home of which I always stay for at least two weeks to a month. Why? Because Brice is a charming, intelligent and genuinely helpful and sweet host.

Brice keeps a clean, well appointed home on the ground floor which is helpful as I have a minor handicap of which his home is easily accessible. Brice has great taste in decor and you at once feel at home in his abode. I'm in Paris once to twice a year and will never stay anywhere else if his apartment is available. Writing a good review is a two edged sword; although I want as many people as possible to enjoy his hospitality, I also fear that one of you readers might book his place at a time I'm trying to do the same.

Location: the location of this apartment is perfect. The XXe is one of my favorite situations in Paris as it's outside of the touristy areas but has hundreds of amazing markets and restaurants just around the corner. I grew up in Turkey and there are at least a dozen Turkish restaurants nearby as well as Chinese, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Italian, and of course French dining possibilities. Does it sound as if I enjoy food and wine? If you aren't so adventurous, Brice can point you to his favorite restaurants within the neighborhood.

Please mention my name to Brice if it was my review that clinched your decision. However, do me a favor and never book the last two weeks of September as those belong to me. Hahaha.

Brice, as always, thanks so very much for your hospitality.

Bisous,
