Antoine was a great host. He was really easy to get a hold of and responded quickly. Even though he was working near by when we arrived he helped us bring our bags upstairs and gave us a quick rundown of the apartment. The apartment was perfect for us (a couple) and had easy access to the entire city with one metro line stop two blocks away and another line's stop three blocks away. There is a grocery near by as well as many restaurants. Every morning we went to the boulangerie on the corner for croissants and a demi baguette. It was an ideal base from which to explore Paris.
