Xavier is an excellent host. We got the chance to share a glass of wine with him on our second night. The space Xavier has created with his family is so unique. Not an inch of space is wasted in this apartment. The kitchen is light and airy with plenty of space for up to 5 guests. The master bedroom is a private oasis with your very own shower and sinks. The single bed is in a small room that you must pass through to get to the other bedrooms, so whoever ends up sleeping in there won't have as much privacy as the others. This wasn't an issue for us because we all went to bed at the same time. The third bed was a double bed in a loft space. This would not work for anyone with mobility issues as you have to climb a ladder, but it was great for us. It was a neat little place to lay your head. I imagine this loft would get quite warm in the summer time, though.
We also loved that this building had an elevator, as small as it was, it was great since this apartment is on the top floor. The neighborhood is very beautiful and clearly an affluent area. Grocery store, boulangerie, wine store, everything is within a 5 minute walk. Even the Eiffel Tower was only a 7 minute walk. This was great for evening strolls to see the light show. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Thanks, Xavier!
