When my friend and I first arrived, we were greeted at the exit of the subway by Pierre's wife who was very kind and led us to the apartment. She then explained how everything worked around the apartment and helped us plan our visit by giving us recommendations on what sights to see and what trains to get there. The apartment is quite spacious and I like the separated bedrooms, one on the loft and one downstairs. Both beds are actually quite comfortable. My favorite part about this apartment is that it is really quiet. The apartment is situated on a little courtyard set back from the street and even in the morning when traffic starts to pick up you won't hear a thing. Very peaceful. Initially there was only one bath towel provided for my friend and I but I contacted Pierre and he was quick to bring another towel. The bathroom is a little funky and the fridge could use some cleaning out but these are just minor squabbles that did not really impact our stay. The apartment is equipped exactly as described and that little couch/bed downstairs makes a really excellent place to kick back and relax after a long day of exploring the city! Overall my friend and I had an excellent time and Paris and enjoyed our stay in Pierre's apartment!
