Cyril was very, very responsive and communicative. Even when we arrived Paris late in the evening, they found a way to ensure we would be able to get into the apartment. We had a very warm welcome! Cyril put Philippine magnets on the refrigerator to make us feel at home. And Juliana left us some chocolate and a little welcome note. Cryril’s location is excellent as it is close to Republique Metro station which is a major interchange so it was very easy to go around. It also has a little grocery almost right across, and close to a lot of restaurants. Be prepared to bring up your luggage to the 3rd floor as the building has no elevator. The shower is also a tight squeeze sonit would be a struggle for someone a little hefty in size. The apartment was spacious. And we loved that it had a lot of natural light!
