Had a wonderful time in Paris with my son, staying a week in Fan's apartment. Fan was a perfect host and did all he could to make our trip as good as possible. He met us at the train station and showed us around in the apartment. He was quick to answer questions and very helpful. The apartment is smaller than it appears on the photos but has all you need. The neighborhood is excellent, shopping, restaurants, metro and of course 2 minutes from arc de triomphe, perfect. The only thing that was not great... was some renovations being done in an apartment on the floor above, starting with crazy noise at 8 am, breaking stuff, hammering and drilling. Not really cool for a teenager on vacation. We informed Fan and he did what he could to minimize the disturbance in the morning and we got a break to 9 and even 10 one morning. We were determined not to let that affect our overall enjoyment of being in Paris. Attending the Iceland - Austria game at stade de France and watch out countrymen kick there way to the final 16, nothing could have wiped the smile of our faces anyway :)
