Staying @ Joel's was for me a unique experience that I will not forget and I will set aside as a great memory. I arrived very late and way past the check-in time we agreed, still, Joel was there way past midnight waiting for me and promptly answering my questions to reach his place, i had a couple of heavy loaded suitcases and no fun finding a taxi to take me there from Montparnasse train station. Frankly, i was bluffed with the very warm welcome i had and so glad to be arrived as i had a very early business meeting the next morning on the Champs Elysees. The apartment is very stylish, cosy and very clean, spotless. Modern with wooden floor giving it a warm feeling. Everything is as described and more. The room fully furnished with a big new HD TV, i plugged my HDMI cable allowing me to work while comfortably sitting on the bed that is not only beautiful but comes with a top-notch mattress you don't want to leave in the morning.
Then we enjoyed great conversations and you can tell Joel is a very good listener, quiet, confident and a large smile enough to break the thickest of ice between strangers meeting for the first time. The cherry on the cake, a quite large convenience store right across the street opens till 9 pm and a huge fitness center right next to it opening at 6 am for the one who wants to keep in shape or cool down after a hard day work.
What else would you wish for, a wonderful host, perfect setting, next to the Metro even if a bit outside the city center its worth every penny for a city like Paris. I Highly recommend his listing and will be back on the next occasion. Thank you Joel !
