Ziad is an amazing host. Communication was always quick and easy. He is very nice and understanding and you can tell he cares about his guests and their comfort. His apartment is located near Galeries LaFayette and about a 2 minute walk from the Opera, which is one of the main metro and bus stations in Paris. His apartment is clean, tidy and has everything you would need, including a washing machine!. There were two of us and we had plenty of space. The bathroom is also spacious. There are some stairs to get to the apartment, but there is also an elevator which is nice if you are tired. This was our first experience in Paris and we could not be any happier! We always felt safe in the apartment and all its surroundings. Even walking late at night in the neighborhood we always felt safe. It is a nice area. Highly recommended. Thank you Ziad!!
