Our wonderful stay in Paris was made all the better by staying at Xavier's place! We felt like we were in a true Parisienne apartment in a nice neighborhood, and the kitchen seemed quite large for a city apartment. Xavier gave us good directions to get there and assisted us several times during our stay by arranging an early morning taxi to the airport (during a taxi strike) and reserving a table for us at a wonderful neighborhood restaurant. The kitchen was stocked with essentials and everything was clean and comfortable. The little patio outside was a lovely place to eat our pastries each morning :) The metro was close by, as was Montmartre with shops and restaurants. We really didn't even want to leave our place each day to go sightseeing! Thank you!!
