My husband and I spent a few days at Stephane's apartment, traveled a bit, then came back to Stephane's for a few more days. I honestly can't say enough great things about Stephane and his apartment. He was so generous and kind; he really made sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. He was easy to reach and very responsive. The apartment itself is beautiful: big and light with two windows that look out onto the street below. The bed is ingenious (very easy to move up & down) and very comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen are actually larger than they appear in the photos. The location is perfect - we walked everywhere, but there are also metro stops nearby, as well as the RER B, which will take you directly to & from the airport. We really felt as though we were living in Paris! The neighborhood is very busy (read: loud), but when you close the windows in the apartment, it is amazingly quiet. We had wanted to do some laundry when we returned to the apartment, but Stephane told us the washing machine had broken. He sent us to the nearest laundromat and insisted on paying for it. (He has since replaced the washing machine). In short, this is a wonderful place in an excellent location with a fantastic host. It should be noted that this is a 3rd floor walk-up with sometimes very narrow stairs. Stephane helped us with our luggage, and we didn't mind the climb, but some people might. I highly recommend Stephane's apartment to anyone who wants to have a great experience in Paris.
