Where to begin? I believe Pierre's apartment is a 5-star rated property after numerous reviews. Well, let me confirm for anyone considering staying there... that it is worthy of every star and more.

The apartment was super clean. It's a sizeable studio with a very modern and spacious bathroom (just like the pictures). We did not use the kitchen area, but it was larger than most in NYC, lol. The bed was firm, but soft (just to my liking) and the sheets and towels were of the highest quality and clean. He provided liquid soap, shampoo, and there was even a large unopened bottle of water in the refrigerator for our immediate use upon arrival. The AC was cooling and quiet and the Wi-Fi fast and strong!

I need to give Pierre a special shout out. Although I did not meet him (as he was traveling in Greece), he could not have been more helpful and organized. My arrival dates changed at the last minute and I contacted Pierre (while he was on vacation) to request moving my stay to begin one day later. Luckily the apartment was available and he agreed to do so. No fuss. Also, the instructions he provided to access the apartment couldn't have been more clear.

Now, for those of you who don't know Paris well, Pierre's apartment is not central... But it's not far from the city center. It is super close to Sacre Couer and the Montmartre district. It's a short walk (5 minutes) to two different metro lines and the Paris Metro is very efficient with train frequency and underground connections. So don't let the location deter you. Also, the 2nd best views of Paris are from the hill that Sacre Couer is on. (The best view is from the Tour Montparnasse, not because it is the highest view... but because it is the only view that does not have that ugly Tour Montparnasse in it, lol!)

All in all, it was a great stay and I would stay there again if given the opportunity!
