Axel made us feel welcome and we found in his beautiful apartment many things useful for vacationing visitors, including mineral water, salt, oil and vinegar, a lot of coffee capsules for an excellent espresso making machine and also some luxuries like wine and chocolate drops. The apartment, which is indeed very bright, has two balconies, on opposed sides of the building, which is very convenient for avoiding the sun. The bed and the sofa are excellent and the TV set is much bigger than the one in the photo. We enjoyed the location, despite some noise coming from road construction, because we wanted to live among locals, not among tourists. Right across a boulevard begins old Paris, and we were able to walk to the Monceau park in not more than 40 minutes. Bus connections are very good.

Axel was a very gracious host, responding quickly to our inquiries and needs. He was very understanding with our unforeseen late coming and also allowed us to leave several hours later than 11 A.M. We had a wonderful vacation and we hope that his apartment will be available next time we go to Paris.
