Xavier is a thoughtful and reliable host. We communicated efficiently about my arrival and he was waiting for me at the Bus Direct stop (even though I was late because of traffic from CDG). The welcome process was kind and thoughtful. Xavier was prepared to complement anything with his own amenities but nothing was missing. The place is exactly as per the pictures. No luxury but very functional and top notch location. If you are taking the train at Gare Montparnasse, you can literally depart 5 minutes before from the apartment as it has a private access to the platforms! I highly recommend Xavier's place for a short or long stay in Paris.
