Francois's place is just amazing! Great location, really close to shops and restaurants and easy to walk around the neighborhood (or even further to Paris main attractions - 35 min to the Louvre). The apartment itself is just amazing - everything is super new, stylish, cozy and clean. The skylight in the kitchen/ living area adds a special touch! The building is also nice and quiet and his neighbors were kind. His apartment is on the 5th floor and there are no lifts - easy way up but something to be aware of if you have a huge luggage. Francois communication was awesome: really easy going, helpful, making me feel welcome and offering tips about the area. He was on holiday when I arrived but he organized with his mother, Genevieve, to be there. She was just a star! Really warm and friendly soul. I definitely recommend not only the apartment but also Francois as a host! I had a really great experience!
