My wife and I traveled to Paris to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. While I was planning the trip I wanted to find accomidations that were well located, comfortable and affordable. Romain's apartment was all that and so much more.

The apartment itself is charming, very clean, incredibly comfortable and perfectly quiet, just as Romain describes in his listing. The bed is remarkable and like sleeping on a cloud after a long day of walking through Paris. The shower is refreshing, great pressure and perfectly hot enough. The towel warmer in the bathroom is a great touch as well! The kitchen is well appointed, and all of the appliances are easy to use - the washing machine was a great feature allowing us to pack lightly and refresh the wardrobe halfway through the trip.

The location cannot be beat - you are steps away from the main transportation hub in Paris, but more importantly you are within walking distance of nearly every major point of interest in the city. The neighborhood around the apartment is filled with great things to see and taste! I'd highly recommend maison Collet on rue Montorgueil for fresh pastries and breads, and the dining at L'Apibo on rue Tiquetonne is superb.

As for the host of this amazing apartment, you will find none better than Romain. He was there to meet us early in the morning and show us around the neighborhood, and we remained well connected throughout our week using whatsapp and text messaging. He would check in daily and offer suggestions for things to see and do and was always available to us. He met us on our last day to see us off and wish us well. I really could not have had a better interaction.

Romain asked us before we left what he could do to improve the apartment or our experience, and honestly we couldn't think of anything. His goal, in his own words, was to welcome his guests into his apartment the way he would want to be welcomed if he were traveling - he succeeded! We could not have had a better experience thanks in large part to Romain and his "haven of peace and quiet" in an unbelievably beautiful city.
