Emmanuel is an ideal host. I received a thoughtful text from him just after I landed in Paris, and he continued to be responsive and available throughout my stay. I loved his modern, pristine, well-decorated flat. The layout is ideal, flooded with light in the front and the back. The bathroom with walk-in shower is spacious and modern, and has full French windows that open, as does the bedroom. The kitchen is fully equipped, although I always dined out. He kindly left cereal, milk, cookies and wine, and his coffee and tea selection is excellent. There is a fantastic sound system with CD player and I enjoyed his Madonna and Eros Ramazotti music. Wish I had also brought my own as well! The elevator is a gift- most don't have one. The jewel of the place is the stunning terrace- which I enjoyed at least 2-3 times a day. The view of the sky and architecture is lovely. The stunning terrace view fills up the apartment when you are indoors as well- it is a beautiful floor plan and well-appointed. I would love to stay again in a future visit to Paris.
