I have been coming to Paris regularly for more than thirty years and stayed all over the city. This apartment has everything you want in terms of cleanliness, appointments, privacy, calm and location in the city. My one hesitation before coming was being on the ground floor, which can often feel less private than one would like. But in this case it proved to be an additional attraction, with a view of an effectively private garden from both the living/dining room and the bedroom. I stayed here a month by myself, in November, so I did not have an opportunity to sit outside in the garden, but in warmer months it would undoubtedly be a great pleasure. In my opinion this is exactly what one wants when coming to Paris. That it is so well though ought from a traveler's perspective tells you the kind of host Patrick is. This is a find and a value.
