Staying here was our first attempt ever to use Air BnB, and it went brilliantly! First, Patrick is a terrific correspondent. His English is impeccable, and he is quick to answer any and all questions. He fully explained in writing about his location, how to arrive using either taxi, bus, or metro, and where we might park if we rented a car. Our particular hope was to visit Giverny, and he wrote us about all possible ways to go there as well. Then, once we arrived, he met with us, re-explained how to use our choice, the train and (once there, the local shuttle out to the estate), even printing out the train times and warning us not to use the "slow" trains! During our week's stay, we felt that Patrick and/or his staff were always available to answer any and all questions as well. The room and bath were very clean, the breakfast was very good, and complete--coffee, tea, hot and cold milk, eggs, small sausages, croissants, cheese, yogurt, breads and sweat breads, cereals, juice, and fresh fruit every day. Also, at the desk, you cold buy chilled cans of water and soda at fairly nominal prices, and there was an inexpensive expresso machine. Several evenings we returned to find other guests had made local purchases and were welcomed to have their "picnics" in the breakfast room. In terms of location, it was amazing! They are half a block from the Egar Quinet metro stop, and one stop away from the Montparnasse-Bienvenue stop. Both stops seemed to have friendly, helpful information desks that were staffed (and with English speakers) during most normal travel times. There were also wall-to-wall eating establishments down several of the streets right by the hotel, although the hotel itself was VERY quiet and unaffected by its lively surroundings! All in all, "Patrick's Room" is that rare gem one dreams of finding in a foreign surrounding! Hats Off, Patrick and staff!
