Dominique was very welcoming. He showed me to the apartment, which was very bright and clean and as shown. He had Paris restaurant and sightseeing guides and transportation help. He recommended some things to do. When I asked about coffee, he showed me the pot for boiling water, asked if I had coffee. When I said no. He went back to his apt. and gave me a jar of instant coffee to use, which was much appreciated the next morning. The bath was also newly renovated and very comfortable. Excellent place and I would stay there again if needing to be in that part of Paris. While there is unavoidable street and train noise, it didn't bother me as I don't hear well and am a sound sleeper.
