Communication with Patrick and his friend Raphael who met us at the apartment for check-in and out were clear. Raphael did a great job of orienting us to the neighborhood, and the notebook was very helpful too. The apartment was as described and was perfect. There were plenty of restaurants, cafes, and markets including the fabulous Aligre open air market where we bought produce. cheese and meat for meals we prepared and ate in the apartment. We will hope to be able to rent this apartment again on our next trip to Paris.
