Patrick was a simply wonderful host, providing easy to follow instructions for locating and gaining access the the apartment, and a very nice welcome bottle of wine. The apartment was even better than what we expected from the very good description on Airbnb. The interior design is beautiful, restful and highly functional, with high quality modern appliances. The neighborhood combined the best aspects of a very central location with a street that was charming, intimate and quiet. We simply could not have been more pleased with Patrick, a very friendly and cordial host, and his apartment -- we even came to appreciate the five flights of stairs as a way to burn off some of the calories consumed. This will always be our first choice when we are in Paris.
