Christophe's place was absolutely perfect for my daughter and myself. We wanted a place that was away from tourists, safe and quiet but still close to the sights, and we got exactly what we were looking for. His apartment is easily accessible by mass transit (situated between two stations), close to a lovely daily market (Blvd de Levis) with all that you could wish for, and a block from the best pizza my daughter and I have ever had (Il Paradiso...try it with their house pepper oil...so good!) There were three museums (Henner, SEECHAC, and de Camondo) and a lovely park (Monceau) very close to his flat.

The flat is one big room, efficiently designed with classy modern decor. We had everything we needed. Christophe quickly responded to all our questions in English as well as French, he emailed us a packet with all the information we needed including how to access the key ourselves, and he very kindly allowed us early access which was a saving grace as we'd taken an overnight flight from Canada and needed to sleep upon arrival. Also, there was plenty of room for four of us once my husband and son joined us. No drawbacks to mention at all. If we return to Paris, we will seek his place out. Thank you for the lovely accommodation, Christophe!
