Our checkin was very smooth. Patrick and Franck live next door and greeted us on arrival. Franck also showed us through the apartment. It was extremely clean (spotless), newly renovated with stylish and thoughtful decor. Unusual for Paris, there is also a terrace and relatively large bathroom. Light refreshments were also provided. One night we had a drink with Franck and Patrick who are both very hospitable, friendly and informative. The location isn't in the core centre of Paris but it is very close to easy transportation. And all conveniences (gourmet market / wine store, supermarket, river, bars and restaurants) are a very short walk from the apartment. A full guide book of all Patrick and Franck's recommended places was provided in hard copy. We went to a selection of all suggestions and were very pleased with all. We also asked Patrick and Franck for specific recommendations before and during our visit. Again all very good recommendations and prompt response throughout. We would recommend this apartment for couples wanting a very clean and stylish, large and airy apartment that is close to transport, with conveniences at your doorstep. Oh and last but not least, a very comfy bed!!
