The design flat was more bigger, more thoughtfully decorated, and overall (I would say) better than many Parisian hotels I've been to, especially for the money. The bathroom in particular is wonderful, and made me sad to return to the shower in my own home. The property is in Paris's version of the garment district (similar to one on west side of Manhattan or downtown LA), which is a pretty central location for getting around the city. The neighborhood is also home to some good shopping, a fun club (Silencio), and a lovely street full of markets, bakeries, cafes, butchers, etc.

As for the hosts, they were was extremely accommodating. Christophe left information for us to help us get acclimated with the property and the city, and he was even kind enough to connect us with a friend in case we needed anything while he was out of town during our stay.

Overall a great experience and would absolutely return when next in Paris.
