Xavier’s place was very nice. Exactly what I was expecting from an older home in Europe. Had just about everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. The neighborhood was convenient to transportation, grocery stores, and places to eat. The only drawback was the shower, it was challenging to use, but only because of what we are used to here in the U.S. The pictures clearly showed that there was no shower curtain and it was just a handheld not mounted to the wall, so there was no surprise and we knew it going in. It was still a little difficult coordinating soak, soap, shampoo, and rinse without getting everything wet. The balcony with a view of the Eiffel Tower was very nice and we really liked how secure the apartment was.
