Our stay in Xavier’s home was wonderful. Great communication in the lead up as well as while we were there. We requested the private driver on the way to the house from the airport and he was great-very professional and made our arrival so much less stressful. The house is literally right next door to a little store, and maybe a 2 minute walk in either direction to several lovely little bakeries & restaurants. Also about 2-5 minutes either way to a metro stop that will get you into the middle of things very quickly. We walked a ton, but if you don’t feel like walking 8-10 miles a day (whew!) you definitely wouldn’t have to, the metro system is great. Comfortable bed & dark curtains in the bedroom meant we slept very well while we were there. Disney+ and other streaming sources available for when you just want to relax for a few too. Not to mention the wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower! It was cold so we couldn’t enjoy the balcony much, but we loved being able to see it from the window. The checkin/checkout process adds another step, but the directions on what to do we’re very well communicated. We highly recommend Xavier’s place!
