David’s place is sunny and extremely comfortable, with lots of storage space, very up-to-date appliances, and an elevator for luggage and handling groceries. It’s also close to two metro lines and a taxi stand. There is a crossbreeze that keeps the apartment relatively cool even in very hot weather, and radiators that are easy to use and efficient when it’s cold. And he’s an extremely friendly host, quickly available on email. In my case he was willing to go out of his way to make sure key pick up and drop off worked smoothly. I know Paris pretty well and that neighborhood very well, but I have no doubt that David would be a great resource for someone coming for the first time. I had an excellent experience and would recommend highly.
