Eric was a very friendly host, he communicated very clearly when the apartment would be available upon our arrival. Breakfast was provided on one of the mornings we were there; bread, toast, jam, yoghurt, orange juice. It was welcome and enjoyable to be able to sit down with our host, and his mother (who was there fora a short stay) for a nice chat. Eric stays out of your way for the most part, leaving you to explore the city. The bed is comfortable, though the room doesn't have space for a lot of luggage (more than 2 pieces might be a little tight). Toilet is just next to the room and easily accessible in the middle of the night, Eric sleeps on the couch when he's around, and he puts up a screen so when you come in from a night on the town, you have an element of privacy. All in all a very nice experience, thanks Eric! I encourage all those who want to travel to Paris for a short stay to go to Hotel Eric!
