DD was a great host. He was not available to meet us when we first arrived in Paris but his friend was prompt and thoroughly showed us around the flat. He also directed us to the nearest best restaurants and grocery stores. The location is superb. It is walkable to most things in Paris if you don't mind a longer stroll. If you do, there are several metro stations just around the corner. There were several tasty restaurants and easy to access grocery stores nearby. The apartment stayed about 10° cooler than outside and with the windows open, we didn't even notice the heatwave during our stay. The bathroom is a bit cramped but that is to be expected and wasn't inconvenient. Overall I would stay with DD again.
