Our overall stay at Sebastien's place was EXCEPTIONAL!
First of all, Sebastien was a very good host. He made sure that everything was prepared before coming to his place and he even sent us directions via email on how to locate his apartment as well as sketches of the nearby cafes, restaurants, pharmacies and supermarkets. He also provided us with maps and itinerary for the different tourist attractions and even added bus/metro routes on how to get there. Sebastien was very organized, kind and accommodating. He responded to our emails right away and not to mention he speaks good English, too.
Secondly, Sebastien's place was just PERFECT! His apartment is on the 8th floor but there's a fully-operated elevator going there (no need to use the stairs especially if you have heavy luggage). It was very tidy, spacious and well- equipped. The kitchen wares were complete, the bed was big and comfortable and the bathroom was neat and clean. We definitely enjoyed soaking in the hot tub while sipping wine and listening to good music. It was just perfect after spending the entire day touring around the city. Sebastien also had various collections of DVD's and 2 wide flat screen TVs (1 in the bedroom and 1 in the living room). We didn't skip a night not watching a good film while taking advantage of the 3D experience (Yes, Sebastien has 3D glasses too- isn't that amazing?!). Above all, the highlight of his apartment was the magnificent view of Paris from his balcony. You can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower and Sacre Coeur while drinking coffee in the morning or sipping wine at night.
Lastly, the location of the apartment was excellent. It was just a 10-min walk from Gare du Nord and 10-15 mins away from Galleries Lafayette. There were also lots of metro and bus stations nearby if you opt to travel that way. The neighborhood was great, peaceful and safe. There were also numerous pharmacies,restaurants and bakeshops close to the apartment. There was even a big supermarket conveniently located just beside Sebastien's crib.

Our holiday in Paris was a very memorable and special one. Aside from the beautiful city, lovely people and interesting culture, one of the highlights of our trip was definitely Sebastien's apartment. You can genuinely experience a true Parisian home while staying at his place.We really love it and we highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to go to Paris.
