Xavier's place was wonderful! Definitely recommend it! Upon our arrival, our hosts graciously collected our bags until the flat was clean and ready for check in. (we were early) It was close to the metro, a multiple bus stop and the Opera Garnier, but surprisingly quiet and tranquil. The flat is small, but perfect for a couple or a person staying by themselves. The flat came equipped with towels and an outlet converter (and extras) which was very helpful! The shower is small and manageable, but might be difficult for a person over 6ft. We felt very safe! The flat is on the 7th floor and you have to get through 2 locked doors before you get to the elevator. And, you can open the windows at night to let the breeze in. Loved this place! Loved our stay there! Definitely recommend it.
