I was greeted by the friendly smile of Ben's wife Pascale. She throughly answered all my questions and made herself accessible if I needed anything else.
The apartment was poetic. Fresh, modern and so clean, it further elevated my experience of Paris. The view was wonderful and inspiring. The location was perfect, beside a little park and down the street from the Notre Dame. Ben was very helpful with offering great choices for local dinning.
The 5th floor advantage was hearing the light rain that became one of my favourite sounds of Paris.
