My friend and I had a good stay at Francois's place. It is a spacious apartment conveniently located close to La Republique in a lively neighborhood. Good bed with place for more then 2 people and nice kitchen and living area. The apartment has a great shared outdoor space as well. Francois works with a company that greets you at checkin with instructions and helps you with checkout. Not everything went smooth with them but Francois responded to the problems promply and resolved them to our statisfaction. We would recommend staying at Francois place when visiting Paris!
