A great location for seeing the sights.
We were grateful to find a washing machine at our disposal after ten days of cycling! The apartment smelled a bit from old cigarette smoke when we first entered, but we were able to air it out for most of the week. (It may be that the stale smoke seeps up from the downstair neighbors and is out of the hands of the host.) C’est la vie!
Paris general felt very safe and welcoming. We were happy to have a chance to stay at Xavier’s place.
