Frank was an extremely responsive host, from first inquiry to check-in and beyond.

I was greeted by Alain waving at me from the window above - I had inadvertently gone to the building next door upon arrival - he is a fabulous and friendly local ambassador/meet & greet committee for Frank.

What to say about this apartment? It's lovely, spacious, modern and ideally-situated.

I chose it for its location, décor, and because it was one of the few Parisian apartments to have 1.5 baths (and a real bathtub - a rare find!) and 2 separate sleeping areas. I'm so glad I did.

We rode the metro everyday to various locales throughout Paris, so appreciated that the Duroc and Vaneau stations were so close. We frequently the local restaurants, supermarket and bakeries, and we felt very safe and comfortable coming and going. Rue Pierre Leroux is a nice quiet street in a fabulous neighborhood that borders both St. Germain and Monparnasse.

The apartment is walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and major shopping. Frank has stocked the apartment with every conceivable amenity, appliance and item a traveler might think to want. His pride of ownership is very apparent and his rental manual is nice and detailed - I really appreciated that. I didn't sleep in the beds - but the girls assured me they were comfy - as was the pull-out sofa in the living room, which I chose.

I was especially impressed with how many little touches there were in the various rooms, most especially the great number of electrical outlets - that was very appreciated.

I would not hesitate to stay here again, should I ever travel to Paris in the future, and have already recommended it to friends and family. It's a true Parisian oasis.
