I cannot express enough wonderful things about Francois! We had an issue with passports but he was very flexible and accommodating. His apartment was perfect and he added so many special touches and sent a friend to greet us since he had work obligations. He had fast responses and was so very helpful during planning. He left an amazing spread for us on arrival and even little treats for the kids on their beds. The apartment was right by the Bastille metro station for easy transportation with an overnight parking lot just steps away. There were wonderful places for coffee, a boulangerie, creperie, drinks, amazing breakfasts, ATM's, late desserts for the kids, a wine shop and patio restaurants for a nice glass of wine just outside the apartment door. Really, I can't say enough good things about Francois, his apartment and the area. His place was very stylish, outside of typical tourist traps and we most highly recommend!!
