The flat is exactly as it was described and is lovely. It has everything we could have wanted, down to a yoga mat. It was very easy and secure, we felt very safe. All the contents of the flat are very good quality and easy to use. We were there in a cold period and it was warm in the flat, with radiators easy to control. The area the flat is in is wonderful, there's many excellent places to eat and local shops, it is near Metro stations and an easy walk to get to the Marais, or the central islands. We often walked 30-40 minutes through Paris to places like the Pompidou Centre or Louvre, wandering through the streets and able to get the Metro back if tired or even rental scooters/bikes. Xavier was a very responsive and helpful host. The checkin and out was easy.
