We are so glad we chose Franck's La Verrerie apartment for our ten-day stay in Paris. The location is perfect, so close to the Hotel de Ville and Chatalet Metro stops, and within easy walking distance to so many sites. As busy as this neighborhood is, opening the big red doors off the street and into the courtyard is like entering a sanctuary of tranquility. Once up the stairs and in the apartment, it is even quieter, and we had absolutely no street noise as we slept peacefully in the very comfortable and roomy bed with yummy duvet and plump down pillows. We especially appreciated the living room with its comfortable sofa, bright floor lamp for reading, and coffee table for spreading out books and papers. There is also a handy desk and chair, and the wireless Internet is lightening fast. We cooked several meals in the well-equipped kitchen, and enjoyed shopping in the area for our ingredients.

The apartment has all the amenities you could want, including some perhaps not mentioned in the description, such as excellent hair dryer, oven, fast-boil electric kettle, lots of guide books on Paris, plenty of paper towels and toilet paper provided. Franck was a big help when my watch battery died, as he told me where to get one (the BHV department store a few doors down), as well what to say in French to request one. Talk about service!

I recommend this apartment wholeheartedly and have absolutely no complaints. (Please not that Franck has two apartments listed, and it looks like airbnb has intermingled feedback for both apartments. This review is for the one-bedroom apartment on Rue de la Verrerie.)

Thanks, Franck, for making our stay in Paris so enjoyable!
