Superb experience on every level. The flat is a snug Latin Quarter walk-up, just a few doors down from the old haunts of Hemingway and Verlain, in a lively neighborhood with countless cafés and ethnic restaurants. Loved the medieval masonry and half-timbering, in an ancient building that rises where an ancient gate in the city walls of 1200 AD once stood. Romain is a kind, perceptive and responsive host, whose suggestions on where to eat and what to do, in the immediate area and beyond, significantly enhanced our experience. The flat has everything imaginable for a comfortable stay -- including an excellent and eclectic books collection. Highest possible marks - if I could give a 6th star, I would.
