We were four women in Paris for a week, enjoying the beautiful city while staying in Xavier's wonderful, Parisian apartment. He was excellent in communicating with us before we arrived and even arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport. He accommodated us in requesting an extra hair dryer and greeted us at the apartment with wine, fresh croissants, snacks, extra adapter plugs, a guide to areas in Paris and recommendations for restaurants. He was very gracious about answering all of our questions; he let us know that we could call him any time during our stay. The apartment itself had everything we needed, including a great terrace which we used often in the evenings. The beds were comfortable and the shower was great. The kitchen was our morning gathering place - great farmhouse table and splendid ambiance throughout the apartment! Everything was very clean. The neighborhood was perfect for us - quieter, but we could easily walk to groceries, wine, patisseries, bread shops, cafes and ATM machines. We loved the courtyard entrance and would go back to this apartment again, for sure! Thank you, Xavier, for making our stay in Paris so perfect.
