Xavier's place, professionalism, and personal touch (such as a bottle of wine as a welcome gift) either met or exceeded our expectations. More specifically, the apartment photos and description were accurate, communication was pro-active and timely, and most importantly in this instance, Xavier helped us resolve a problem related to flight cancellation and re-booking. The apartment itself is rather quiet & very clean. The building is secure & well maintained by a helpful building superintendent. The most appealing, and unexpected, feature of the property is its welcoming, pleasant, landscaped courtyard; Our experience was excellent, and are confident in recommending Xavier's 22 rue de Charonne to our family & friends, and to re-book in the future ourselves.
