Benoît’s apartment was clean, quiet and comfortable. It was very close to the Institute Pasteur, so excellent for conference attendees and much cheaper than the local hotels. You could see the Eiffel Tower from the window. It is a studios flat, but was spacious. It didn’t have a balcony but had two full length windows which opened to give plenty of air and light. The entry was easy and the surrounding area felt safe and there were lots of places to eat. The apartment building had a lift, so you didn’t need to use the stairs. Benoît was very helpful and recommended a great place to eat for dinner and always responded very quickly. I liked staying there- it was very cute!
