Xavier's place was a total gem in the center of Paris. Great location and such a cute room. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed; even a tea maker & instant coffee. It is true that there is zero privacy for using the toilet or shower so keep that in mind for whoever you are traveling with, however there is a private bathroom in the hall that works perfectly fine. We loved how cute and cozy the room was. HUGE pillows & a comfy bed. It felt like we were living in the city not visiting. Loved it! Xavier was an excellent host with tons of communication and made check in and check out a breeze. Will recommend!
