We thoroughly enjoyed our one-week stay at Gerard's place. His apartment is the ultimate in Parisian living, beautifully decorated, on a high floor (w/ elevator) in a traditional Hausmanian building and centrally located in Montparnasse. Our arrival was very smooth and useful instructions and pamphlets had been left for us. The apartment is extremely spacious and light-filled, even better than in the photos. It includes a second bedroom, which we didn't need, and could easily accommodate 4 people. It is located in a quiet street, a real plus in Paris. All required appliances are there, including a washing machine and dishwasher, which came handy. In sum, a great place to stay in central Paris, which I highly recommend.
