I loved my time in Paris and was very thankful to have a beautiful apartment to come home to at night. Florent sent very clear instructions about how to get to the apartment and access with an app on your phone. During the stay, he was always a text away and offered to come by the apartment to explain all the amazing technology. Almost everything is automated. The apartment was extremely clean (sheets, floors, counters, towels, etc). I'm very allergic to cats, but I didn't to take allergy medicine at all around Florent's cat. Keep in mind this is a 5th floor walk-up apartment with precarious stairs. It located steps from Rue du Rivoli, a few blocks from Notre Dame & Saint Chapelle and walking distance to local cafes in the hip neighborhood. Additionally, FOUR metro stops are very close. I recommend visiting the adorable writing supply shoppe below the apartment and the locale bakery in the square close to Rue du Rivoli: amazing croissants , tartes, brioche.....you really can't go wrong!

The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the fact there is a cam in the apartment. I was not informed of the camera. I found it when exploring the iPod touch used to control the technology in the apartment. Suddenly I was looking at myself. I understand the desire for security, but it was surprise. You could see the random clips seem to be saved and it was a live shot being screened. The camera is in the living/kitchen area below the bedroom loft area. That being said, I would definitely stay in Florent's apartment again.
