My husband and I stayed at Abye's apartment with our 13-year-old son for 6 nights in august 2017. We could not have been happier with our stay. Our flight arrived in Paris on a Friday morning, and while Abye was out of town, he arranged for his lovely friend, Weiling, to meet us at the apartment for an early check-in at noon. All travelers know that moment of truth, when you first step into a space you have rented online but have not seen in person. When we first stepped into Abye's apartment, we were welcomed by the natural light coming in from the two floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, even on a rainy day. We knew we were in the right place. During our stay, we were impressed by the spaciousness of the apartment. With three of us, it never felt small or cramped. Each morning, we got breakfast from the delicious boulangerie on our block and we ate it at the dining room table in the apartment. Since we had a refrigerator, we were able to keep orange juice and water cold and on hand. When our son started to come down with a cold, we used the electric kettle to make tea; Abye had several varieties on hand. There was a market close by so we could get soup. Abye provided plenty of pots, pans, and plates. After breakfast, we walked one block to the Jardin du Luxembourg, an amazing gem to have so close. We were walking distance from many restaurants and monuments, and we were 4 minutes from the Port Royal RER B stop, so we did not have any issues getting around Paris. As other travelers have noted, this apartment has a wonderful shower. It had excellent water pressure, and we never ran out of hot water. We were able to meet Abye during our stay. He contacted us a few days into our stay to make sure everything was going well, and he arranged to stop by and meet us in person as well. We truly could not have been happier with our stay. It felt like our home away from home. If you are looking for a bright, spacious apartment with a great location and a gracious host, we cannot recommend Abye's apartment enough. Happy travels!
