Pierre was very responsive from the start of our communication which is one of the reasons why my boyfriend and I felt comfortable booking with him. After booking, he gave us details and different options for transportation to his apartment. The check-in was extremely smooth and easy. You have to walk many flights of stairs to get to the apartment, so if you have any injuries or issues you may want to consider that. It was tough with luggage, but after that my boyfriend and I enjoyed the work-out. It's tough to work-out on vacation, but we got ours from the apartment building! The kitchen is also dated, but who's really spending time cooking in there? Other than that, the apartment is adorable. I loved the big windows in the living room. Most importantly, the neighborhood is THE BEST! We enjoyed walking around in Les Marais, we also walked to Notre Dame and one night the Bastille area. The metro is very close by and you can pretty much get anywhere on it. Pierre is very pleasant to deal with and I highly recommend staying at his apartment!
